The Illinois Senator attended his first New Hampshire house party Monday.
Organizers estimate over one hundred people came to state representative Betty Lasky's home in Nashua.
Obama detailed his plan to withdraw troops from Iraq, called to improve education and to make health care available to all citizens.
He also stressed the need to break out of the gridlock in Washington.
He says he believes his campaign is better positioned to achieve that goal than his Democratic rivals.
"I would argue that this campaign has the best opportunity for transforming our politics - bringing young people to the process, bringing minorities to the process, bringing the disaffected into the process, of any of the campaigns that are out there."
Senator Obama also met with a lunch crowd in Concord, and spoke at a town hall meeting at UNH.
