Politico on Obama's trip to IA next Tuesday:

"The schedule still says 'TBA.' But barring a last-minute change, Senator Obama plans to be in IOWA on Tuesday night when he clinches a majority of available pledged delegates.  This is a red state he's hoping to turn blue, so the intended message is that he's getting to work on the general - NOT taking a victory lap.  Political Geographer Jonathan Martin says the Hawkeye State appears to be Obama's BEST chance to flip a state that went for President Bush last time.  In 2004, Iowa went Bush 50, Kerry 49. In 2000, it went Gore 49, Bush 48, Nader 2."
