Republican Ron Paul
vowed Thursday night to
continue his presidential
campaign into New
Hampshire and other states.
“This is not the end. This
is the beginning,” the Texas
congressman told a boister-
ous gathering of about 150
people at a downtown Des
Moines hotel.
The crowd interrupted
Paul at times, chanting
“Live free or die” and “Ron
Paul.”
“1 am more encouraged
than ever before,” he said.
Although Paul, who rep-
resents Chambers County
in the U.S. House, finished
in fifth place, he noted that
he was ahead of former
New York Mayor Rudy
Giuliani.

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Barack Obama, an
Iowa winner seeking New Hampshire spoils,
faced stepped-up criticism Friday from
Democratic rivals now doubly determined to
block his rise in the 2008 presidential race.
Republican Mike Huckabee claimed momentum
for a hurried five-day primary campaign.
“This feels good,” Obama told cheering sup-
porters after a dark-of-night flight from Iowa,
where he trumped John Edwards and Hillary
Rodham Clinton in caucuses with a pledge to
bring change to Washington. He said he had no
plans to revise a winning strategy, but the same
wasn’t so for his rivals after an Iowa campaign
almost entirely free of harsh criticism.
“The last thing Democrats need is to move
quickly through this process... without taking a
hard look at all of this,” Clinton said as she
arrived in New Hampshire. “It’s hard to know
exactly where he stands, and people need to ask
that,” she said of the first-term Illinois senator.
Clinton, the New York senator and former first
lady, wound up third in Iowa, and second-place
Edwards quickly sought to show her to the side-
resents status quo,” he said. For good measure,
he added that Obama “has a more philosophical,
more academic approach” toward change than
he does.
If the Democratic race appeared ready to turn ^ant it to be" better" and" believe’ that change is
. necessary, and it’s not going to happen from
within Washington.”
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, his
well-funded, methodical Iowa campaign a fail-
ure, dismissed Huckabee’s victory as a phenome-
non built on the support of evangelicals who
make up a much smaller part of the electorate in
New Hampshire. He said Huckabee ran as a
able to me.”
While Huckabee was the Iowa winner among
Republicans, McCain has gradually emerged as
the strongest New Hampshire threat to Romney,
who can ill afford a second consecutive defeat.
“There’s no way that Senator McCain is going
duct fresh polling to guide strategic decisions or t0 aHe t0 come t0 New Hampshire and say

change Washington. He is Washington,” Romney
said as he arrived in the state.
winners.
Obama told supporters that if they follow
Iowa’s lead, “I truly believe that 1 will be the next
president of the United States.” As he well knew.
New Hampshire frequently does not follow
Iowa’s lead.
Further complicating the race was the pres-
ence of a laige bloc of independent voters in
New Hampshire.
McCain benefited from their support in 2000
when he won the state’s primary, and he is
appealing to the same group to vote for him this
year.
On the other hand, Obama profited handsome-
ly in Iowa from the presence of thousands of
independents who flocked to the Democratic
caucuses, and he no sooner arrived in New
Hampshire than he was mimicking McCain’s
appeal. “We need someone who exercises
straight talk instead of spin,” he said, a play on
McCain’s penchant for telling voters he’ll give
them “a little straight talk” even though they may
disagree with what he tells them.
With little sleep, Huckabee flew out of Iowa,
then pivoted to face a new audience in New
Hampshire.
