Context:
* “Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers in the audience. I do have to say, though, that this is a tough holiday for Rahm Emanuel. Because he’s not used to saying the word ‘day’ after mother. That’s true.”
* “David Axelrod is here. Now, David and I have been together for a long time. I can still remember. I sort of tear up a little bit when I think back to that day that I called Axe so many years ago and said, ‘You and I can do wonderful things together.’ And he said to me the same thing that partners all across America are saying to one another right now: ‘Let’s go to Iowa and make it official.’”
It means the person feels themself start to cry.

Thank.
Does partners in the context mean "homosexual partners/couples"?
No, this is a pair of political jokes. The first one refers to an obscenity, and the second one refers to the beginning of a campaign for the office of president, which usually begins with either the New Hampshire primary or the Iowa caucuses.

I almost fucked that one.
Not at all, Wilso--the original question was what "I sort of tear up a little bit" means. You answered that correctly.
