If Hillary Clinton is the nominee, whoever runs on the Democratic ticket will be strong against Sandoval because Hillary is very popular with the Hispanic/Latin community.

Sandoval is pretty popular in NV, including Clark County, which leans Democratic, the rest of the state is pretty solidly red.
He won re-election with 70% of the vote, which means that Clark County went for him also.

We need to put up a strong candidate. The DNC needs to be involved in the selection, and not in a lukewarm (DWS/Kaine) way, or we lose Reid's seat if Sandoval runs.
