Nevada Race a 3 Way Statistical Tie - Edwards a Very Close 3rd

This is going to be a very short diary, because I just want to give Edwards supporters on Daily Kos some excellent news.

The race for the Nevada caucus is in a statistical dead heat, according to a new poll.

A new poll by the Reno Gazette-Journal shows a neck-and-neck three-way race among Democrats for Saturday's caucus. On the Republican side, U.S. Sen. John McCain has taken his first lead in Nevada of the election season, and Mitt Romney, who has been working Nevada harder than any other Republican, is trailing in fourth place.

A look at the top line results (more will be posted later this morning):

Barack Obama: 32 percent
Hillary Clinton: 30 percent
John Edwards: 27 percent

There is a margin of error of 4.5 percent, putting Edwards within the margin of error - statistically tied with Obama and Clinton.

John Edwards will visit Nevada on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
