4021164, My Day at the NH Polls and the Tsunami of Women Voters
Posted by William769 on Thu Jan-10-08 09:05 AM

I was the Clinton visibility captain for Londonderry, NH, the second busiest polling place in NH, and this diary focuses on my observations of the voters on Tuesday 1/08/2008.

My day began at 5 AM and I arrived at our single polling location shortly after 5:30. First job was to plant about 50 signs along the drive leading to Londonderry High's Gymnasium. Having gotten up well before other campaigns, I of course put our signs on the prime real estate up here. The tops of plowed snow piles, the entrance corner, all along the drive and around the fenced entrance to the polls.



Those signs look pretty and make supporters feel good but that's not what won New Hampshire for Hillary.

The Un-Polled, Unregistered women of NH came out in record numbers for Hillary. The pundits can pull their hair out all day but the answer to why the polls were wrong is simple.

Those who were never polled, never called, never canvassed came out for Hillary.
