Hillary claims victory

Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) claimed victory late Tuesday night in the New Hampshire primary.

She was notably alone on the stage tonight, in sharp contrast to her concession speech in Iowa, where she was surrounded by aides, including Madeline Albright and her husband, President Clinton.

"I come tonight with a very full heart," she said. "Tomorrow we're going to get up, roll up our sleeves and keep going."

The key line of the night: "I listened to you and in the process I found my own voice."
