And no, it's not ladies' wombs making them all sympathetic to that Lifetime special.

Now that Hillary Clinton's campaign seems to be struggling in the wake of Change (with a capital C!), everyone's trying to figure out what her seemingly verklempt moment with a group of women at a Portsmouth, NH event means.
