1. I wonder what the female/male percentages are.
I have a theory about that.

3. I don't think she cried. Either time.
She expressed emotion. I like that in a candidate if it's genuine. If we see more and more of these moments, I will get suspicious but I really think she's been real so far.

4. I really have a hard time imagining how...
... a person waits until election day to make up his/her mind.
And, I've never met anybody who has done this. Any thoughts?

6. Cause they don't really want Hillary, but they don't know Obama very well......

so they become unsure. At the last moment, they decide to play it safe and go with what they have already experienced; the safe past.

Plus, many are afraid that his being Black will ruin our chances. They don't realize that they are buying into the meme that the Clinton campaign put out...which is why every contest is now analyzed by race right down to the smallest details.

5. IOW, the uninformed and undecided opted at the last minute for
name recognition.

Thats...encouraging...

7. Because
They were undecided, had no idea about the issues, and wanted to go with the safe choice.

8. Which ironically turns out ..it wasn't
the "safe choice" afterall. It was the sucker's choice.

9. Undecided does not equal ignorant of the issues.
I am so so so tired of seeing people post generalizations that have no basis.

11. Seems mathematically impossible in CT, considering the number of voters that broke for Obama
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 02:00 AM by LeviathanCrumbling
in the last 3 days and the percentages that we know decide on election day, if she had won those voters she would have won the state.

13. i looked at CA & MA
Over the last 3 days it was like a 3 point margin for her, but on election day it was much bigger.

It doesn't make sense. Nothing happened Monday night or Tuesday morning that would make somebody decide at the polling place in those margins, so it almost has to be the safe vote.
