Nevada: Hillary Clinton

DENVER – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Searchlight) has asked U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) to deliver the Democrats’ weekly radio address and she has accepted, Reid told a meeting of the Nevada delegation this morning.

Reid used his brief remarks at the breakfast meeting to heap praise on Clinton, who narrowly failed in her bid to capture the nomination. On Wednesday, Clinton released her delegates to the party’s newly minted presidential nominee, Barack Obama.

DENVER - Tracy Harriford, a delegate-alternate at the Democratic National Convention, has a prediction: Hillary Clinton is coming out for primary rival Barack Obama in her primetime speech tonight.

“I’m very interested in what she has to say,” said Harriford, who backed Obama in the primary. “I think she will be supporting of Obama because she understands what the causes are and what the issues are.”

The second day of the Democratic National Convention will be called to order at 5:00 PM EST today, with a theme of "Renewing America's Promise."  Featured speakers include Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (D-Kan.), U.S. Sen. Robert Casey, Jr. (D-Pa.), Gov. Deval Patrick (D-Mass.), and Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D-Mont.). The keynote speaker will be Gov. Mark Warner (D-Va.), followed by the headline prime-time speaker, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.).

DENVER – This week, Nevada Democratic Party chair Sam Lieberman is overseeing a group of Silver State delegates whose support is split between presumptive party nominee Barack Obama and his vanquished rival, Hillary Clinton.

But Lieberman, speaking to PolitickerNV.com at the Marriot hotel this morning, said the delegation was coming together behind Obama.
