Sarah Huckabee is desperately looking for a volunteer. It's a frigid Des Moines Sunday afternoon and the daughter of the upstart Republican presidential candidate is holding court in her new corner office above the campaign's Iowa headquarters. Her dad, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, may suddenly be a front-runner in Iowa, and in South Carolina as well, but his rising profile has its own complications. Today she is dealing with a shortage of drivers...

At 25, Huckabee is no dilettante trying to ride Daddy's coattails. After leaving her job as a regional liaison with the Education Department in Washington, Huckabee has spent the past year directing field operations for her father's campaign. Six weeks ago, overcoming her hatred of the cold, she moved to Des Moines to be her Dad's eyes and ears on the ground in the state that will make or break his presidential hopes. "There is a degree of trust between them that is very special. It's special for family and special in a political adviser — and in her he has both," said Eric Woolson, who runs the Huckabee campaign in Iowa.
Sarah — who has two older brothers, one of whom is also working full-time for the campaign — thought about going to law school after graduating from her father's alma mater, Ouachita Baptist University in Arkansas. Instead, she switched gears, heading to Washington and the Department of Education; along the way she has worked on two of her Dad's gubernatorial campaigns, a local race in Oregon and President Bush's reelection campaign in Ohio. She inherited the organizational talents of her mother, Janet (who until recently worked for the Red Cross in Little Rock), and the passion for politics of her Dad, and no small amount of his famous charm...

You just gotta be on this Snake Oil Salesman’s staff.
Not guilty by hung jury.
Ah, but for the ability to post anonymous comments.... ;)
Wow Dane, another “helpful” puff-piece by a liberal MSM rag for the Huckster.
Kinda sorta makes you wonder who the liberal pro ‘rat WaPo is really trying to help?
With all of this “free media” by the liberal MSM, no wonder the Huckster’s numbers are going up. You can’t buy this kind of publicity!
I guess that the liberal MSM knows a fellow traveler when they see one. (Just like you do.)
Time, Inc. Another liberal rag puffs for Huckabee. The libs really want Huckabee to win the primary. Why, do you suppose?
I think dano1 is actually the Elmer Gantry/Hukster himself.
I see Hukster wont release transcripts of his old sermons..wonder why that is?
ME? All one has to do buddy is FReemail me and I'm very easy to find.
Do you get paid by the post?
Still shucking for your little illegal I see.
One has to wonder....are you a paid sponser for the huckster or are you dating his daughter?
GUILTY !
If there's a bigger S H Y S T E R running for President, either party, someone please tell me who it may be.
Field General? Does this mean she’s the one to see if you want political opponets beaten up?
It’s a close call between Huckster and Precious Willard.
At least it wasn’t Field Marshal, or I’d have my reputation ruined.
I think Huckabee expected these kind of responses many of the over reactive come up with in posts above this:
“Worthwhile battles in the political arena are not for the easily discouraged or the faint at heart.
Politics can be a full-contact sport. While it shouldn’t be and doesn’t have to be dirty, one cannot be guaranteed that others will always fight fair. If you can’t handle being fouled, then it would be better to buy a ticket and watch from the stands. If you can’t stand the sight of your own blood, your role might need to be limited to helping others and not actually putting your name on the ballot and your neck on the line.”
Mike Huckabee
Pg. 186 “From Hope To Higher Ground”
“When you throw dirt you’re losing ground”
That explains why other candidates are losing while Huckabee is surging.

Today we salute you, Mr. Mike Huckabee paid FR campaign shill!
(Mr. Mike Huckabee paid FR campaign shill)
What does a liberal Republican do when he is afraid to face grass roots conservatives himself? He pays his coffee and errand boy minimum wage to do it for him...
(skim milk with three sweet and lows)
Sitting in a cubicle at campaign headquarters you search Conservative websites like the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Salon, CNN and Daily Kos looking for favorable articles about the Huckster to post on FR
(oooh, here's one from DU!)
Armed with nothing but talking points from Hucks' website, you attempt to convince conservatives that your candidate is not a Christian socialist or a pro-life Democrat...
(Jesus would want amnesty for illegals)
When FReepers say Huck is a fiscal liberal, algore loving environmental wacko, open border amnesty pusher, nanny state smoker banner you provide the brilliant original response...a link to his campaign website
(copy, paste, copy, paste)
Conservatives? We don't need no stinkin' Conservatives!
(Highly overrated)
All we need is a leftist who is pro-life, has an R next to his name, and talks about Jesus.
(Praise the Lord!)
So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, oh Karl Rove of the blogosphere, because when a FReeper runs for office, we'll be calling you...
