Clinton wins because the gloating and pile ons caused a backlash and she wasn't destroyed. Onto Super Tuesday where she has a huge advantage.

I heard some of the breakdown.
MSNBC reported exit polls as saying turnout was heavy among older voters and women, both of which groups strongly went to Clinton. She also led among lower income voters.

Obama led among younger voters, but not as many of them turned out as older voters. He led among men, more educated, and over $50K income. And Independents (when compared with Hillary).

There was no comparison of Indies between Obama and McCain, though.

9. The only gloating an pile ons that happened happened here at DU.
There is no "backlash" from DU significant enough to affect anything outside of DU, let alone destroy a candidate. DU is not the world. If it was, Edwards and Kucinich would be the frontrunners. None of the submoronic pissing matches that happen here matter to anyone but the pissers.

12. Dude, Hillary's gonna win New Hampshire
I don't see how Obama makes up the deficit at this point.

It's kinda delicious in that Tweety has to eat shit all night, and many others besides, even though I'm kinda leaning Obama.
