[Obama]: "I'll be a president who ends the tax breaks for companies that ship our jobs overseas and put a middle class tax cut into the pockets of working Americans who deserve it!"

Senator Barack Obama, who said Iowans voted for change and a new politics last night. Dennis Williams, Director of UAW Region 4, is thrilled by Obama's victory.

[Williams]: "This is huge for Barack Obama. I think it says to our country - we want change. Were tired of the status quo. Barack Obama has a history of working for working men and women of this country. So I don't think there's any doubt in my mind at least that Barack will be a friend of working men and women and organized labor. he will champion workin' people's causes. And We need that in this country."

Senator John Edwards finished second with his pro-labor, anti-poverty and anti- corporate power message, narrowly edging Hillary Clinton.

[Edwards]: "What the Iowa caucus goers have shown is that if you're willing to have a little backbone, to have a little courage, to speak for the middle class, to speak for those who have no voice - if you're willing to stand up to corporate greed, that message and the American people are unstoppable!"

SEIU Local 199 President Cathy Glasson says while Edwards will have strong SEIU support in new Hampshire as well, for labor the presidential race's focus is about much more than competition among individual candidates.

[Glasson]: "Raising up the middle class, standing up for working people and their families - nurses and janitors and head start teachers and school bus drivers. It's really about insuring that every man, woman and child has health care, affordable and accessible health care. And it's really about lifting people up in this country, and I think that's really the focus. And the candidates all believe that."

Senator Hillary Clinton made it clear she's committed to a national campaign right through Super Tuesday and beyond if necessary.

[Clinton]: "I want to rebuild a strong and prosperous middle class. And to me, that is the most important job the next president will have here at home. Because if we don't begin to pay attention to the people who do the work and raise the families and make this country great we will not recognize America in a few years."

AFSCME Council 62's Andrew Bouska says Clinton remains the best candidate for working people.

[Bouska]: "We're gonna allocate the resources that we need in terms of communicating with our members and letting them know that Hillary Clinton is the best candidate for working families and will be the best president for our future. So we look forward to five days away in New Hampshire, moving on to Nevada, South Carolina and then Super Super Tuesday on February fifth."
