ABC News is reporting that the woman whose question led to Sen. Hillary Clinton’s emotional moment on Monday wound up voting for Sen. Barack Obama in last night’s New Hampshire Primary.

According to the ABC Report:
Marianne Pernold Young, 64, a freelance photographer from Portsmouth, N.H., told ABC News that while she was moved by Clinton’s emotional moment, she was turned off by how quickly the New York senator regained her “political posture.”
“I went to see Hillary. I was undecided and I was moved by her response to me,” Pernold Young said in a telephone interview with ABC News. “We saw 10 seconds of Hillary, the caring woman.”
“But then when she turned away from me, I noticed that she stiffened up and took on that political posture again,” she said. “And the woman that I noticed for 10 seconds was gone.”
How ironic if the moment that some say may have contributed to Clinton’s crucial win last night by increasing her share of the women’s vote, was caused by someone who ultimately voted for Obama after apparently being repelled by Clinton’s near-instant ability to regain her composure.
