From the story: "It's absolutely a cautionary tale to both the people who do polls and the people who read polls," said Richard Morin, a public-opinion expert at the Pew Research Center. "Pre-primary polling is fraught with dangers. That is particularly the case in New Hampshire, which I have called the graveyard of political pollsters." (USA Today)

From FOX News: Clinton’s pivotal moment can be marked at a point less than 24 hours before the voting began, say several political observers who traced it to a campaign stop in Portsmouth. It was there the New York senator’s voice took on a feminine vulnerability after she was asked to respond to a question about how she copes with the hectic schedule. (FOX News)
From the Washington Post: Having been told so many times to reveal a little more of her personal side, she let down her guard on election eve in response to a question about how she was doing, choking up with emotion as she talked about how important the election is to the country. Within 24 hours, New Hampshire voters -- especially women -- were streaming to the polls to vote for her, shocking everyone, including the candidate. Clinton had two prepared speeches, one for a "big defeat" and one for a "close defeat," an aide said. No victory speech had been written. Several top strategists agreed among themselves to resign if she lost. (Washington Post)
Another story notes “even among women who are backing other candidates, Clinton's display of emotion resonated.” (Houston Chronicle)
