By Alex Isenstadt, Politicker.com ReporterWith virtually no campaign organization in Nevada, Mike Huckabee is now in a close race with Mitt Romney, surging to 23% iif the vote among likely Republican caucus participants, according to a new American Research Group has a new poll released today.
The poll has Romney, the former Governor of Massachusetts, leading Huckabee by a 29%-23 in Nevada, which has its presidential caucus in a little more than a month. That's a sharp uptick for the Governor of Arkansas, who had just 2% in an ARG poll in October.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is in third place with 17% of the vote -- a huge drop from the 31% he had two months ago when he and Romney were in a statistical dead heat.
Behind: Arizona Senator John McCain at 7%, and former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson at 5%.
The survey of 600 likely Republican caucus goers was taken December 1-6 and has a margin of error of 4 percent.

No way
I don't think 600 Republicans are actually going to attend the caucus. Well, maybe as Democrats they might. The GOP has blown off Nevada to such an extent, I don't even understand why you are talking about it.
Incidently, did you know the GOP is using Voting Machines in Nevada? That isn't even really a Caucus, anyway.
