One day after formally announcing her second presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton is on the road to Iowa.
The former secretary of state is taking a road trip in a van nicknamed "Scooby" to the first-in-the-nation caucus state, where she will hold her first campaign event on Tuesday and aim to convince Hawkeye voters to give her a better reception than they did in 2008. In that election cycle, Clinton sputtered to an embarrassing third-place finish in the Democratic caucus, opening the door for then-Senator Obama to capture a rousing win that propelled him on to the nomination and, ultimately, the White House.
