Based on your analysis and the initia...Interesting. Based on your analysis and the initial poll predictions, it would seem that social desirability is likely. Even in an exit poll, people who had made up their minds that day or even in the previous week may be reluctant to say so for whatever reason. (Perhaps they feel silly for admitting it or would rather act as if they knew who they were voting for all along so that they seem "loyal" or whatever.)<BR/><BR/>Clearly something happened. Maybe it was just Hilliary's misty moment. Or maybe it was her comment that "some of us go out and do this against some pretty difficult odds" that brought the issue of gender back to center stage for a lot of the older female voters. We'll probably never know. Was it Chris Matthews? It could have just as easily been Keith Olberman coming down on Clinton the day before the NH primary for being "emotional," "cring," and "playing the fear card". He pretty much stigmatized any Democrat who would vote for her in NH the following day. His segment can be found here: <BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BB4Vvgn_4k<BR/><BR/>On the issue of sexism, if I were a female who didn't pay any attention to policies, previous voting, previous deeds and misdeeds, etc., she'd have my vote simply because the media has been shitting all over her and leading the public to do the same--for being a WOMAN. Who knows, if it continues to get even worse for her, I may give her my backlash vote. Dear Lord, don't let it get worse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412583847145043520.post-40788716222703451932008-01-10T13:45:00.000-07:002008-01-10T13:45:00.000-07:00Fair point.

But it certainly was described as a cry in the coverage of the event, and it seems pretty clear that it helped her politically. I don't have too much evidence on this, but I buy the idea that a number of voters who didn't necessarily plan to vote for her decided to do so to combat her treatment by the media.Seth Maskethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178036016555722068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412583847145043520.post-11718014503034175272008-01-10T12:44:00.000-07:002008-01-10T12:44:00.000-07:00I'm not replying to your question, only nitpicking...I'm not replying to your question, only nitpicking your characterization: "...fueled by sympathy for her and for female candidates in general, and may have been crystallized when she cried in Portsmouth..."<BR/><BR/>I saw the media portrayal that she "cried" or "teared up", and finally went to watch the clip myself. She did not cry, or even tear up. It was more like she got a little misty eyed. <BR/><BR/>In fact what I saw was a woman at ease with the discussion she was having, who felt very strongly (passionately even) about policy having an impact on the lives of individuals, arguing it matters who occupies the white house. She did not lose it, in any way, instead she clearly demonstrated mastery over her emotions. <BR/><BR/>I can't help but think most of the people who watched that clip out of curiosity were impressed by that short discussion. They didn't "feel sorry" for her, but were likely annoyed by the characterization in the press.AnnMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504450005600933157noreply@blogger.com
