The Prince of Darkness cites girl power as the cause of Clinton's upset:

The exit polls were so wrong because they grossly understated the female vote in New Hampshire. Had the turnout of women there, which constituted an unprecedented 57 percent of the actual Democratic vote, been plugged in to exit interviews, a 2-percentage point Clinton victory would have been forecast. The unexpected female support in turn can be attributed to the Clinton style, which may not be pretty but is effective. Hillary Clinton's tears evoked sympathy for her, and Bill Clinton's sneers generated contempt for Obama.

Tears and Sneers - a dangerous combination. Also, is Novak's rhyme an allusion to Tears for Fears? Who knew he listened to '80s Britrock!
