"I've got first or second in all of the first four states so I'm feeling pretty good about it," said Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney.
Nevada’s primary is also drawing attention of Democrats.
"A lot of energy and momentum in my campaign here in Reno," said Democrat Presidential Candidate John Edwards

"Once again, thank you for joining us on Hill Force One. We know you have choices when you fly," said Democrat Presidential Candidate Senator Hillary Clinton.
