Clinton is "prohibitive favorite" in Nevada.

It is Hillary Rodham Clinton who should be considered the "prohibitive favorite" in Nevada due to her strong support within the state party establishment and her large lead in early polling.

I was really hoping for an Obama win in the Silver State, but perhaps it's just not in the cards. It's going to be an uphill battle, and Clinton still has the best shot at the nomination ultimately, but I've still got hope (even if the odds are against it).

2. No, but reality is she's likely to win, unfortunately.

3. Each campaign is spinning to reduce expectations

Probably means a close race that neither has a good handle on as yet.
