CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: Now, Howard Dean's second-place finish was good, but not as good as his campaign had hoped for.
We get more now from our senior political correspondent, Candy Crowley, who's in Manchester.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

CANDY CROWLEY, CNN SR. POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT: Howard Dean told this cheering, stomping crowd, "We did what we had to do tonight."

Maybe so, but it's not what they expected to do. All day long Dean staffers said they thought they'd have a single-digit loss to Kerry. And that, they said, would be a victory in that Dean was down so far after his Iowa loss and his concession speech.

In his speech here tonight, Dean stuck to the issues. He let the crowd do the screaming. His campaign says he is going on to those seven states for next Tuesday, but now it begins to get tricky - where to spend the money, where to spend the time. And there is added pressure now on the Dean campaign. It will be very difficult to move on if next Tuesday there is not a win. So far, Dean has a third and a second in his column, but only a first will do on February 3 to keep the money coming in.
