Tom Jensen / Public Policy Polling:
Where did we go wrong?  —  The networks have called it for Hillary and I think after Florida in 2000 they're not going to make that mistake again, so obviously our polls were wrong.  —  First off, please do not call us or e-mail us and tell us we suck!  We are well aware, and it does not feel good.
