Does anyone have an idea as to why it was so close? Clinton won it by about a 9.5% margin, but I would think that based on the demographics, it should've been more similar to her 2008 result (where she got 62% of the vote) than what she got last night. It's rich as hell, and I thought Clinton's showing there would've been similar to what she got in Nassau. Could it be because it's more white and less Jewish than Nassau? Are most rich people there just registered Republicans?

Suffolk really isn't really that wealthy or professional.  It has more working class whites - and is much less Jewish - than Nassau and Westchester.

So... Clinton's 62% in '08 was more anti-Obama than pro-Clinton.
