9:18 PM: Young voters key to Obama win

Obama strategist David Axelrod spoke with MSNBC from a raucous Obama caucus headquarters about his candidate's victory, and the coalition that could carry the campaign through to other states.

"This was such a meaningful victory, not just because of how it turned out but because of the composition of that victory," Axelrod said, adding that the Obama campaign drew young people to caucus in unprecedented numbers.

"We're not taking anything for granted. This was a great start," Axelrod said of moving on to New Hampshire. "The hunger for change isn't just limited to Iowa."
