Key exit poll indicators explaining Hillary's unexpected showing in New Hamsphire:

She carried registered Dems 45% to 34% over Obama. Dems made up 54% of those voting in the primary compared to 43% independents who turned out.

She carried Baby Boomers, 50 and over, roughly 43% to 32% for Obama. Boomers made up 44% of primary voters.

She carried women voters, 47% to 34% over Obama. Women voters made up 57% of voters.

Pretty funny reading your next to last post, Matt. After Hillary's win in NH, its rather dicey to talk about if such and such happens "its over for Clinton." Clearly there's no calling this stuff. But much worse is that you even mention that poster boy for political strategy ineptitude, lifelong loser Bob Schrum. Why in the world he's even allowed on talk shows is hard to fathom. He's symbolic of everything that has been wrong with Democratic politics for the past decade.
