Hillary Clinton told supporters she wants to give America the kind of comeback New Hampshire gave her, after pulling out a surprise win in the New Hampshire primary.
A beaming Clinton hugged daughter Chelsea and husband Bill before starting to speak just after 11 p.m.
"I come tonight with a very, very full heart," she told ecstatic supporters, who chanted "Hillary! Hillary!" " I listened to you and in the process, I found my own voice....I felt like we all spoke from our hearts."
Her husband Bill first called himself the "Comeback Kid" when he pulled off a second-place finish in New Hampshire in 1992 on the way to the nomination and the White House.

Thank you New Hampshire, you taught us all a lesson!!! Looking forward to November! God Bless. =)
Great night for Hillary and her campaign. It was just hours ago that Hillary's was written off, and some of her supporters pondering whether or not to leave her and join the Obama campaign. The voters of New Hamphire sent a message---Not so fast. It seems Obama was ready to be coronated after he won the primary and it was going to be smooth sailing to victory. You need experience to effect change.
