Obama: "I'm Still Fired Up And Ready To Go"
Barack Obama pronounced himself "still fired up and ready to go" after a second-place finish in New Hampshire's Democratic primary.
"You know, a few weeks ago no one imagined that we'd have accomplished what we did here tonight in New Hampshire," he told supporters. "For most of this campaign, we were far behind. We always knew our climb would be steep.
"But, in record numbers, you came out and you spoke up for change. And with your voices and your votes you made it clear that at this moment in this election there is something happening in America."
He congratulated Hillary Rodham Clinton on a hard-fought victory and asked the crowd to give her a round of applause.
"All the candidates in this race have good ideas and all are patriots who serve this country honorably," Obama said.
