Update: Here's the transcript.

****

With Bill and Chelsea beaming, but seated rather than standing by her side, looking fabulous and happy, Hillary Clinton takes the stage.

She tells New Hampshire "Thank you. I listened to you and in the process I found my own voice. "

"Let's give America the kind of comeback New Hampshire has just given me."

More....

"We are in it for the long run."

She gives specifics and talks about issues, not just promises of hope and change.

"Tomorrow, we will get up, roll up our sleeves" and keep going.

"We came back tonight because you spoke loudly and clearly. You want this campaign to be about you. Because there is so much at stake for our country."

She thanks the New Hampshire team "that never faltered one minute." The crowd cheers wildly. She thanks the young people of New Hampshire who voted their hearts and their minds.

She says she respects the other Democratic candidates: Dodd and Biden, Richardson, Kucinich, Edwards and Obama.

She is "going out there with millions of people at my side who believe as I do that this country is worth fighting for. Thank you and G-d Bless You." Wild cheers.

Congratulations, Hillary -- and to the voters of New Hampshire, who moved past the most biased and unfair media coverage ever to vote their own minds.

    Mitt Romney seems like he's just throwing money at this campaign, so he's playing around, but I don't see how Obama or Edwards think this is a game. Seems like she's trying to fight back in some supposed generational battle against Gen Y, saying that's she's the "serious, experienced" candidate as opposed to some whippersnapper. Tell me if I'm wrong in how I see that.

    payroll, IMO; otherwise, he'll bloviate on the airwaves and ruin the race for Democrats.
    She should pay him to SHUT UP.
