I dont think there has been an official nomination yet, but there doesnt seem to be any strong challengers to Reno's campaign from within her own party.

Its my understanding there will probably be more primary candidates, thanks to a new law that does away with the second primary, or runoff election, for the 2002 election only. So chances are the parties will support more candidates, since it takes just a simple majority to win. Previous law required the top two candidates to face off in an expensive runoff election if neither could get the 50-percent-plus-one vote required to win.

I don't think there'll be any more Democrats entering the race. In fact, State Representative Lois Frankel just dropped out. That leaves Reno, McBride and State Senator Daryl Jones.
