Keller @ Large: What Happens After New Hampshire Primary?

BOSTON (CBS) - What was primary night in New Hampshire all about?

Obviously, affirmation for Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, who sold passionate anti-establishment messages with expert use of social media to disaffected voters who were ready to buy.

Don't buy the Hillary Clinton campaign spin that Sanders unduly benefitted from being from next door, he mopped up all over the state.

And Trump proved you don't have to play by the party's rules, even though it helps to be a billionaire outsider.

What happens next?

The 2016 presidential campaign leaves the relatively narrow confines of Iowa and New Hampshire and enters a whole new arena of diverse electorates and interests.

Marco Rubio has a chance to rebound after his mea culpa Tuesda night; John Kasich will quickly find out how many moderates are left; and Jeb Bush still has friends in South Carolina and Florida.

And Hillary Clinton?

As she noted Tuesday night, she's been down before and has a way of coming back.

But without more support from women, that looks like one giant hill to climb.
