This time, the faces on the stage behind her were young and fresh, not the familiar - and yes, old ones - of the Clinton Administration years. Her larger-than-life husband moved in for the briefest of embraces, and then disappeared. Just in case anyone missed the symbolism, Hillary Clinton made everything explicit with the opening notes of a New Hampshire primary victory speech that had seemed unlikely, even to those around her, just hours before: "Over the last week, I listened to you," said Clinton.
