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.

Clinton Escapes to Fight Another Day  —  MANCHESTER, N.H. — Hillary Rodham Clinton is back.  —  With solid support from registered Democrats and the backing of women, who deserted her in Iowa, Senator Clinton beat Senator Barack Obama of Illinois with a margin that — if not particularly wide …
Gary Langer / The Numbers:
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.

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.

Bold Prediction: The Impending Obama Media Backlash  —  So here is the latest Bold Prediction, inspired by a late night and little caffeine - Obama is about to endure a media backlash.  —  Why a bursting of his media bubble?  Well, they (alright, “they") have finally admitted what was obvious …

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.

The Rings on Zarqawi's Finger  —  “I am a ring on your finger."  — Al Qaeda in Iraq member Abu Anas to Abu Musab Al Zarqawi  —  Since Abu Musab Al Zarqawi formed the Al Qaeda in Iraq franchise, the terrorist group that destroyed the World Trade Center has fought American soldiers …

Diebold and New Hampshire  —  At the completion of the New Hampshire primaries, certain elements are are claiming an “astonishing” discrepancy between the results tallied by hand and those tallied by Diebold machines.  Naturally reddit jumped on the bandwagon as fast as possible.

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.
