O'Bama says New Hampshire loss shows change not easy
Barack Obama said on Wednesday his upset loss to Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire's U.S. presidential primary was a reminder change was not easy and would be resisted by those who gain from the status quo. "My voice is a little hoarse, my eyes are a little bleary, my back is a little sore, but my spirit is strong," Obama said the day after Clinton won narrowly in New Hampshire despite opinion polls before the vote showing she trailed Obama by double-digits.
Obama, bidding to be the first black president, had hoped for a New Hampshire win that would solidify his hold on the top spot in the state-by-state race to pick candidates for the November election to succeed President George W. Bush.
