NASHUA, N.H. -- Barack Obama spoke to a crowd of over 2,000 at Nashua North High School where he urged the crowd to vote in the primary on Tuesday, and asked if there were any undecided voters. Many in the crowd raised their hands.

"We got a lot of 'em. We got some live ones right up there," Obama told his campaign staff, "I am putting you on warning, we are coming after you today."

During his stump, Obama appeared to be anticipating attacks from his opponents in the coming days and he encouraged the crowd to trust their own instincts instead of listening to the criticisms.

"We started something on Thursday, but it was just the start, it was just the beginning, the assumption is it will not last, that assumption is that the American people will succumb to fear and doubt, and will not trust their instincts and will not follow up on what we have begun," Obama said.

Obama prefaced each of his talking points with "in three days time" and confidently told the crowd that his message of change may come to fruition.

"I have no doubt that we will not just win the New Hampshire primary but we will win the nomination and we will win the general election and then we will go out and start fixing health care and start fixing education and making sure college is affordable and restoring our standing in the world, we will close Guantanamo and restore habeas corpus and respect the Constitution of the U.S. if you believe we can change the world in three days time."
