COLUMBUS, Ohio (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Tuesday celebrated victory in the must-win state of Ohio and vowed to continue her battle with Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination.

"You know what they say: As Ohio goes, so goes the nation. Well, this nation's coming back and so is this campaign," Clinton said at a campaign rally.

"We're going on, we're going strong and we're going all the way," said the New York senator, a former first lady who would be the first woman president.

Clinton trails Obama in the hunt for delegates and had lost 12 straight contests to the Illinois senator before winning Ohio and Rhode Island in the state-by-state battle to represent the Democratic Party in the November election.

"I look forward to continuing our dialog in the weeks ahead on the issues that matter most to our country," she said.

After Tuesday's voting, the candidates turn their sights on the next major contest, in Pennsylvania on April 22.
