Clinton fights on, Obama returns to Iowa
From Paul Steinhauser
CNN Deputy Political Director

(CNN) -- It's all about location, location, location.

Sen. Barack Obama campaigned in Montana Monday while Sen. Hillary Clinton addressed voters in Kentucky.

Sen. Hillary Clinton will spend Tuesday night in Kentucky to celebrate what's expected to be a big win in that state's primary. But Sen. Barack Obama won't be in Oregon, even though he's favored to win that state's contest Tuesday.

The Illinois senator will appear at a rally in Iowa, where he kicked off the primary season with a January 3 caucus win -- a victory that helped propel him to Democratic front-runner status.

Iowa is also a swing state -- one President Bush won by just 10,000 votes in 2004, and one the Democrats would love to win this November.

Obama told reporters Sunday that visiting Iowa "was a terrific way to kind of bring things full circle."

"We still have some contests left, but if Kentucky and Oregon go as we hope, then we think we will have a majority of pledged delegates at that point, and that's a pretty significant mark," he said. "That means that after contests in every state, or almost every state and the territories, that we have received the majority of the delegates that are assigned by voters."

It appears that Clinton is focused on the present and Obama is looking to November.

2. Obama, by going to Iowa, is effectively lapping the field
If she's not careful Obama may pass her a second time by the time she gets to South Dakota and Montana
