What's really weird about this isn't that Hillary won, it's that ALL of the polls showed Obama with a big lead, including the internal polls of all the other campaigns.
The Clinton campaign spent the whole day lowering expectations.

Really weird how ALL of the pollsters got this one wrong.
Maybe it created some lethargy among the Obama supporters. You know, "we're gonna win this for sure so why bother voting".

Or maybe Clinton's emotional outburst brought out the female vote hardcore last-minute. Clinton was killing the female vote in NH last I looked last night.
