According to some of the exit poll data I saw, married women broke late for
Hillary in NH, partly, it is supposed, because they were fed up with the
programmatic misogyny of the media, particularly guys like Chris Matthews
on MSNBC (known as Tweety Bird, or just Tweety, on one of the lefty blogs I
read.) I don't think we can discount the Tweety Effect. I have to admit
that, while Clinton is my number three choice of the top three, I had begun
to feel a lot of sympathy for the relentless drubbing she was taking over
the last 48 hours before the NH vote. And I'm an old white guy. (Though
admittedly a poet, which makes me suspect in all sorts of ways.)
