I feel your pain?

Hillary is trying to win Ohio by saying she is pushing solutions, not feelings. I thought the latest and greatest storytelling tool is emotion.
Do you think by trying to avoid making a "good feeling," that Hillary is on the right track?
I think that even though people say they are interested in the issues, in the end it's the emotion that wins votes.

Clinton races to Ohio primary

WESTERVILLE, Ohio (AP) -- Hillary Rodham Clinton is toughening
the rhetoric as Tuesday's crucial primaries near.
Clinton is sweeping across Ohio, telling supporters her campaign
is "about solutions," not feelings. She says she's the "only
candidate" left with a plan for universal health care. And she's
focusing on her opposition to trade agreements that she says have
drained thousands of jobs from the nation's industrial heartland.
The former first lady also tells reporters she's "sharpening
the contrast" with her rival Barack Obama, who's won the last 11
nominating contests. Polls show tight races in Ohio and Texas,
which vote Tuesday, along with Rhode Island and Vermont.
Clinton shrugs off suggestions the drawn-out contest will hurt
the Democratic Party in the fall election. She says the party will
unite once the primary battle is over.
