Obama Looks Ahead
NEW LONDON, N.H. -- Barack Obama was asked if Hillary Clinton should drop out if he wins NH tomorrow:
"I would never presume to say anything like that. Look, we've had one caucus, and this would be on primary. And right now I'm just focused on tomorrow. We've got to get our voters out. It would be such a shame after seeing the great turnout in Iowa, if we weren't working as hard as we could to make sure that story continues. Because I think thats the biggest story out of Iowa. 18- to 30-year-olds voting at the same rate as seniors, doubling caucus turnout, that transcends and individual candidate, if that happens we're changing the political landscape."
And if he wins in Iowa, what's next?
"Well Nevada comes up after that so we want to win Nevada, then South Carolina comes up after that we want to try to win that. Then the February 5th states and we want to win all the states. And then after that hopefully I have enough delegates and I will win the nomination and I will go to the convention so that would be the sequence of events that we're looking for. "
On Clinton fighting back tears earlier today:
"I didn't see what happened. I know this process is a grind. So that's not something I care to comment on."
