The moves are another indication that her presidential campaign launch is coming.

Two top advisers to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are visiting the key early states of New Hampshire and Iowa this week in what Democrats who plan to meet with them describe as discussions laying the groundwork for her campaign launch in the coming weeks.
Clinton's expected campaign manager, Robby Mook, and Marlon Marshall, a top political aide on Clinton's team, started their meetings in the Granite State late Monday and will hold more conversations on Tuesday in Manchester and Concord, WMUR reported. They're spending the night in the homes of Clinton supporters and are being joined by Mike Vlacich, who is slated to be Clinton's New Hampshire state director.
Mook and Marshall will conduct a similar round of meetings in Iowa on Wednesday night and Thursday, making stops in Des Moines, Iowa City and Cedar Rapids. There, they'll be joined by expected Iowa state director Matt Paul, a former aide to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, a former governor of Iowa, the Des Moines Register reported.
It's not dissimilar to what the Obama team did.
