This primary is heavily contentious but as the case is everywhere, the people of Nevada are focused on who is likely to be the best candidate and the most successful president.  Based on that analysis we believe that Senator Clinton is going to win in Nevada.

Hillary Clinton will have a strong performance in Nevada tomorrow and will continue to work hard for every vote leading up to February 5 and beyond.  She is the most qualified candidate and the one most prepared to deliver the change that the American people want.

Just as the pilgrims fled religious intolerance and as our Founders rejected religious litmus tests, decent American voters will reject hidden theological requirements.

I am proud to join my colleagues, Senator Russ Feingold, and Congressmen David Pryce and Christopher Shays, in introducing the Presidential Funding Act of 2007.
