Dave Wasserman is the U.S. House editor for the Cook Political Report, and he joined Coy Barefoot on the eve of the Michigan primary to discuss the presidential race to date. He just got back from New Hampshire, where he had a pretty wild time.

“I have never been thrown for more of a loop than I was by this election result in New Hampshire,” Wasserman said, absolutely surprised that Hillary Clinton pulled out a victory. “I was so confident that Obama was going to run away with a ten point victory that I hit the slopes on Election Day.”

Listen in as Wasserman explains why he thinks all the pundits ended up with egg on their face, and why the delegate counts will become more important than the polls.
