Facing New Hampshire loss, Clinton looks ahead to counter Sanders
Clinton hopes to use a loss in this first primary state as a springboard into contests later this month in Nevada and South Carolina.
Concord, New Hampshire: With a victory out of reach in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton is looking ahead to the next round of voting, working to reposition her campaign to counter the rising primary threat of insurgent Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Clinton hopes to use a loss in this first primary state as a springboard into contests later this month in Nevada and South Carolina, where she hopes a more heavily-minority electorate will build the foundation for a national comeback.
Part of that strategy means cutting into the double-digit advantage that Sanders has enjoyed in New Hampshire for several months. Her aides fear that a huge win here will help him make headway among women and minority voters, two key planks of the coalition that twice boosted President Barack Obama to victory.
