2. MSNBC is reporting that exit polls show 47-30 Hillary with women voters.
Obama needs huge numbers among male voters if he's going to pull this out.

4. Even with the College towns still out.
She keeps the lead in Manchester and Nasuwa that will offset the college towns.

5. you're assuming equal population
college towns out, lots of votes there. I think the turnout is more than people were guessing, NYT had called one county for hil but changed it.

9. There are probably less votes left
Manchester is already 75% in, 44% of Nashua is in, and 70% of Concord is. The remaining votes are apparently from small towns.

6. not exactly
unless all the precints are the same size, which I doubt. 48% of the precints doesn't necessarily mean 48% of the votes.

8. Where do you see 4% lead
CNN shows 2% lead (4000 votes)

Just curious where everyone's getting their data

11. Actually that is fuzzy math - assuming equal pop precincts it would be 4% margin needed to tie.
If he gets an 8% margin in each precinct he wins by 4%.

12. Back to remedial math for you.....
That assumes all preincts are the same size and they are not....not by any stretch.
