Could It Have Been the POLLS?

I am about to turn off CNN and everybody else. They are way too over analyzing how the polls could have gotten it so wrong yesterday. In case you have been sleeping the last 36 hours -- they are talking about the polls predicting Obama's double digit lead over Clinton in NH. Some are saying white people lied to the pollers saying "sure, I can vote for a Black man", then did not. A lot are saying Hillary's human moment did it with the sisters. None of these did it, people. It was the media's constant reminder that they already knew what New Hampshire was going to do. The media was starting to write her off. Thousands of people in NH put it up for her. They were not ready to let this be the end of this historic race.

I have not made a choice between the three Democrats. I am intent on listening to them debate and talk about issues that need talking about. And if I had been a resident in NH on Tuesday, I would have been out there voting to lift up the underdog. Because the Polls were telling me to do just that.
