Jan. 20 -- Good afternoon.

Less than 24 hours after the Iowa caucuses, the candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination have set their sights on the New Hampshire primary. Sen. John Kerry returns to the state with the victory in Iowa under his belt, though he says he will not rest on his laurels. He has already begun campaigning again, starting with a rally in Manchester, N.H., this morning. ABC's Kate Snow is with the campaign and will report on Kerry's whirlwind day, and his strategy for the days ahead. Each of the other candidates have also been hard at work trying to woo voters in New Hampshire, knowing that it is an entirely different situation than the one they faced yesterday in Iowa. John Berman and Chris Bury are also reporting from New Hampshire. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/Politics/US/iowa_caucus_040120-1.html

Thousands of Shiite Muslims marched through four cities in Iraq today demanding direct elections rather than the caucus-style voting proposed by the U.S.-led coalition. Demonstrators are also calling for the execution of former dictator Saddam Hussein rather than giving him prisoner of war status. John Donvan has been in Southern Iraq this week, witnessing the anger and growing frustration in the region and will report tonight.

The Salvation Army announced today it is receiving the largest donation ever given to a charity from Joan B. Kroc, widow of McDonald's founder Ray Kroc. The donation will exceed $1.5 billion and will go toward the development of community centers across the country. Brian Rooney reports tonight from Los Angeles on the woman who is continuing a legacy of philanthropy.

Peter Jennings anchors from Washington D.C. tonight. Stay tuned to ABC News for live coverage of the president's State of the Union address and the Democratic response tonight starting at 9 P.M. ET.

We hope you'll join us.
