Barack Obama was in New Jersey Wednesday, but he got a big endorsement from the Culinary Workers Union in Las Vegas.
Hillary Clinton is still smiling after her surprise win in New Hampshire. Her show of emotion might have helped. She won big among women.
"There was a feeling on the part of a lot of voters in New Hampshire that they were getting to know me," Clinton told supporters after her win.
Obama looked like a sure winner in pre-vote surveys.
"Every pollster, probably even including Hillary Clinton's own pollsters, were wrong on this," said NBC Deputy Political Director Mark Murray.
Was it the big turnout by women or was race a factor behind the voting curtain? Those questions might matter in South Carolina on January 26th.
"Whether Hillary's strength among women, who vote more then men, is stronger and can overcome Barack Obama's enormous strength among African-American voters," said Democratic strategist Steve McMahon.
Republican Mike Huckabee is counting on South Carolina's Christian conservatives.
"I believe with all my heart one that one of the fundamental issues in this country is the sanctity of every human life," he told supporters in Spartanburg.
To make it to South Carolina Mitt Romney needs a win next Tuesday in Michigan, where he'll have a second showdown with John McCain.
"We won New Hampshire, we'll win Michigan, we'll win South Carolina, we will win the nomination and I will be the next president of the United States with your help," McCain promised.
Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani's focus is still three weeks away, on Florida, where his campaign event Wednesday was moved over an unspecified security threat.
