9. I heard on public tv tonight that polling stopped on Sunday,
24-48 hours before the election during which time there was movement to Clinton. There are not that many actual votes in NH so that an 80000 vote difference translates into 3 percentage points. And I did also hear that there were women who were going to vote for Obama, when push came to shove they remembered their feminist roots and felt they had to vote for Clinton. The polls were wrong for a combination of many things. What should be really held up for scrutiny are all the commentators who went on to parrot the polls that turned out wrong.
