With the nominating process moving into more diverse states like Nevada, the Democratic candidates are competing for the Hispanic vote. Clinton ahead.

From Newsweek:

[T]he Democratic presidential candidates seized every opportunity they could to reach out to [Hispanics] in Tuesday night's debate in Las Vegas. Former senator John Edwards reiterated his support for comprehensive immigration reform that would include a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Sen. Hillary Clinton touted her work on education and health care and emphasized that "the agenda for America is the agenda for African-Americans and Hispanics." And Sen. Barack Obama noted that Latino voters had backed him in Illinois and that he'd be a forceful advocate for them in the White House.

Overall, surveys show Hispanic voters supporting Clinton by wide margins.
