Thank You, Granite State!
January 9, 2008
We worked hard. We all worked so hard here in the Granite State, but last night was not a loss for Barack Obama.
Heck, no one said changing the world would be easy. When rallying with supporters in Nashua last night, Senator Obama addressed the cynics.
When we’ve been told we’re not ready or we shouldn’t try or we can’t, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people. Yes, we can. Yes, we can.
The possibility of this movement is undeniable and the spirit of the people with whom I’ve spent the past months & days with here in New Hampshire have proven that to me.
I’ve spent time talking about the town of Hillsborough NH on this blog. What happened in this working class town, which wasn’t supposed to be winnable for Barack Obama, was incredible.
Barack Obama: 414
Hillary Clinton: 401
Over the past three months, I spent days tirelessly talking to the people of Hillsborough; thousands of phone calls & doors knocked, and it all made a difference.
Our democracy and our movement for change is strong. Your voice can change the world, but you have to be willing to work for it.
So, with that being said, roll up your sleeves and get to work.
On to Nevada!
