Reid announced last week that he was halfway toward his $25 million fundraising goal for the 2010 election.

He is facing a growing number of Republican opponents, including former state GOP chairwoman Sue Lowden, Reno attorney Chuck Kozak, state Sen. Mark Amodei, former state Assemblywoman Sharron Angle and Danny Tarkanian.

But Reid has his Republican supporters, as evidenced by a list of contributors released earlier this year. Nevada First Lady Dawn Gibbons, Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta and entertainer Wayne Newton were among those on the list.
