Here is an article about her objectives.
--------------------
LITTLE ROCK The Hillary Rodham Clinton Childrens Library and Learning Center, set on a six-acre campus here, is about a 15-minute drive away from the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport.
In between are the state capitol and the governors mansion, now controlled by Republicans, who also hold all six of the states seats in Congress.
In some ways, Clinton never left the state where she served as first lady for 12 years, as she has already etched her name in Arkansas history. In others, shes an outsider the Democratic front-runner for president in a state that has moved sharply Republican in recent years.
Clinton returns Saturday evening to try to turn things around. She will be the feature speaker at a Democratic fundraising dinner some 2,000 people are expected to attend. The visit highlights Clintons effort to fortify and revitalize state and local Democratic parties as she runs for president, including in areas where victories have been hard to come by in recent elections.
Arkansas is perhaps the best test of how well that strategy will work. Clinton and her husband Bill are practically political royalty here, giving them an advantage that President Obama and other Democratic leaders never had. But they face stiff headwinds months after Republicans dominated the midterm elections, despite them campaigning for Democratic candidates here.

Clinton aides say they are trying to build a broad national coalition that extends well beyond the states that vote early in the primary. Last month, the campaign said it had dispatched 51 organizers to build volunteer networks in the 46 non-early states and had held or scheduled 320 organizing meetings there.

My take:
The fifty state strategy should be an essential part of the Democratic Party strategy for whoever the nominee might be.

from your link..
"The Clinton campaign, which is trying to diminish the impression that she is the inevitable Democratic nominee, says it is focused on Arkansas as part of the primary process. The state is slated to be part of a full batch of Super Tuesday primaries on March 1.
Hillary Clinton is committed to strengthening the Arkansas Democratic Party, and helping Democrats be successful up and down the ballot next year and beyond, said Clinton spokesman Tyrone Gayle."
Thank you, Hillary!
