A day after announcing via social media that she is running for president, Hillary Clinton and some campaign aides are driving a van they've dubbed "Scooby" to Iowa for Clinton's first official campaign event tomorrow.

She'll sit down with students at Kirkwood Community College on Tuesday, followed by a small business roundtable on Wednesday.

In 2008, Clinton came in third behind Barack Obama and John Edwards in the Iowa caucuses. O. Kay Henderson, news director of Radio Iowa, joins Here & Now's Robin Young to discuss the start of Clinton's campaign.
