Obama Plans 'Victory' Trip to Iowa

Posted May 18, 08 6:39 AM CDT in Politics 

(Newser) – Barack Obama plans a primary-day early victory trip to Iowa, where he won the Democrats’ first contest, Reuters reports. He anticipates grabbing a majority of pledged delegates after the Oregon and Kentucky vote that will help clinch the race —though neither candidate will have enough pledged delegates to lock the nomination until the convention. “It will be a nice reunion with everybody who helped us get started,” he said. But Hillary Clinton's not giving up.

"There's some people who've been saying for months that this is over and every time the voters come back and say, 'Oh no, it's not. We're not ready for it to be over,'" she said. "You don't quit on people and you don't quit until you finish what you started."
