Frantic end to New Hampshire primary race

BARACK Obama, the Democratic frontrunner told an overflow crowd: “You’re the wave and I’m riding it.”

Hillary Rodham Clinton, trying to revive her campaign, pledged: “Whatever happens tomorrow, we’re going on.” She suffered defeat in last week’s Iowa caucuses and is struggling to avoid a second loss. Polls show Mr Obama leading for the Democratic primary here.

Fighting back, Ms Clinton questioned the substance behind the Illinois senator’s soaring rhetoric. She said Mr Obama “is a very talented politician” but is not living up to his claim to be a new type of politician.
