Can Hillary Cry Her Way Back to the White House?  —  DERRY, N.H.  —  When I walked into the office Monday, people were clustering around a computer to watch what they thought they would never see: Hillary Clinton with the unmistakable look of tears in her eyes.  —  A woman gazing at the screen was grimacing, saying it was bad.

Michael Calderone / The Politico:
After N.H., can the media come back?  —  Cable news pundits may have successfully predicted John McCain's victory in New Hampshire, but they sure had a lot of explaining to do around 10:30 p.m., once The Associated Press and MSNBC projected victory for Hillary Rodham Clinton.  —  “The polls were so wrong.

New Hampshire's Polling Fiasco  —  There will be a serious, critical look at the final pre-election polls in the Democratic presidential primary in New Hampshire; that is essential.  It is simply unprecedented for so many polls to have been so wrong.  We need to know why.

Brad Friedman / The BRAD BLOG:
NH Primary: Pre-Election Polls Wildly Different Than Results Announced for Clinton/Obama  —  [UPDATED several times at end of article, and still developing with new updates...]  —  I'm not sure why Obama would have conceded so soon, given the virtually inexplicable turn of events in New Hampshire tonight.
Matthew Yglesias:
How Wrong Were The Polls?  —  Commenter Brian makes an observation “No one is talking about how the polls actually nailed Obama's number.  Obama didn't lose this election.  He stayed steady and Hillary surged ahead."  That seems to be true.  Here's a chart comparing the actual results …

Daniel Gross / Slate:
WHY WERE THE POLITICAL FUTURES MARKETS SO WRONG ABOUT OBAMA AND CLINTON?  —  So, I've been watching the action in one of the political futures markets this evening, Intrade.  And the action in this prediction market has reinforced my opinion that these are less futures markets than immediate-past markets.

Ed Morrissey / Captain's Quarters:
Did The Ronulans Disappear Overnight?  —  A funny thing happened on my way to the predictable onslaught of Ron Paul supporters in my comments section after yesterday's post about his newsletters.  The onslaught never arrived — and neither did the supposed Revolution from New Hampshire.

Josh Marshall / Talking Points Memo:
MAKING SENSE OF IT  —  It's hard for me to remember an election where the trend of polling and the final poll results so failed to predict the actual vote.  Certainly, there's no example I can remember of it happening in such a high profile contest.  In the next couple days we'll probably get a better sense of what happened.
