The Titus Touch
Dina Titus endorsed Hillary Clinton in a conference call this afternoon. The endorsement is a “one-two punch” for Clinton’s campaign, which is capitalizing on Titus’ support, and NV's early-calendar position with a newly created “Women of the West” effort.
Titus -- a DNC member/NV Senate Min. Leader and '06 GOV nom, who will co-chair the effort -- was considered a big “get” for presidential candidates-- even after her failed race last year. “Her followers are as devoted as I’ve ever seen,” said Clinton's state chairman and Clark County Commissioner Rory Reid.
Titus said she will use her connections in Carson City, where she has served since '88, her support with groups like EMILY’s List and her UNLV connections to help Clinton. She also said her loss can provide some lessons for Clinton. “I’ve learned a lot of people and a lot of players” Titus said in reflection [NORA McALVANAH].

A double digit lead in the vast majority of state and national polls, on track to break the fundraising record she set in the first quarter and another big endorsement from an important early primary state for Hillary. I’d say that Hillary has got a LOT of momentum on her side. Meantime, the Obama hype fest appears to be stalled, McCain’s presidential hopes appear to be gone and Giuliani may very well be overtaken by Thompson.

Most endorsements are good to get even though they tend to have much less clout than the media try to potray them.
