Various polling shots/sounds N1- They came out on Primary day in record numbers. Registered Republicans - Democrats -- and Independent voters. Arthur Barrett Poll Moderator - Phil - "Why the high turn out today? Arthur - Do you live in NH? So do I. Has your phone been ringing? So has everyone else's. People are stirred up and have become motivated. It's the NH way." N2-. For some people, the decision on who to vote for was an easy one. McCain voter - Obama voter - Huckabee voter - N3- For other voters, it was a case of wait and see. Trisha Bouthot - Did it take you long? Yes - I had it right down to noon…" Margo Burns - "I waited until in voting booth…" N4- The largest single group of voters in the state are independents. Registered as neither Republicans nor Democrats they make that decision once they're at the polling station. Christopher Riendeau - decided to go with McCain… Trishia Bouthot clip - This was tough because… Susan Hartford - went with Clinton in last minute… Sound from McCain speech referencing the media N6- Polls, pundits and voices from the media - they're meant to provide clarity for voters.

One event that drew a lot of attention came too late in the race for its impact to be measured in the polls. But did it sway voters? On Monday, Hillary Clinton was addressing supporters at a coffee shop in Portsmouth and became emotional when asked how she managed to stay upbeat during the long campaign. |
| Q & A 2 Return to index of stories... |
Some surprising comments coming from inside the campaign. Dante, is this really the first time we saw the human side of Hillary Clinton? Did that really have an impact on the outcome? How? James, you were on the campaign practically every single day. Do you agree with McAuliffe? Was this a turning point for Clinton? Why or why not? Andy, Dante: How important is this "human" factor? This was a big victory for Clinton whose own team was convinced of a second place finish. What did she do in the final days to turn things around? Andy, we've learned a lot of women came out in support of Clinton. How important was the female vote? |

How important was the youth vote in deciding the winners on both sides? Many of the canvassers this time were young people, some coming from cities and towns and colleges all over the country. Why were so many young people involved this time around? We heard from a lot of young people who weren't quite old enough to vote. saying they'd vote for Obama. Why do you think he is so popular among so many young people? |
