I know this is a little late, but hey, better late than never. So, my wife Lindsey is a professor in the political science department at Stony Brook, and a few days after the election, they had a debriefing to discuss the results. Three of Lindsey's colleagues, Profs. Stanley Feldman, Leonie Huddy, and Helmut Norpoth worked behind the scenes during the election coverage at CBS (Stanley and Leonie) and the New York Times (Helmut) and gave us the insider's perspective on how the polling data came in and how they made their calls and everything. It was really cool.
