At a New Hampshire campaign event, presidential rival John Edwards told reporters he was unaware of Clinton's emotional reaction and would not respond to it, but added, according to CNN's Dugald McDonnell: "I think what we need in a commander in chief is strength and resolve, and presidential campaigns are a tough business, but being President of the United States is also a very tough business. And the President of the United States is faced with very, very difficult challenges every single day, difficult judgments every single day."

People are taking that quote out of context. Edwards was specifically saying that he wasn't going to talk about Clinton since he doesn't even know about it. The comment he made was in general terms. Notice Edwards puts no judgment on anyone who cries or says that Clinton is wrong for having emotions. He stressed how hard the campaign is and how hard it will be to be President.
