Former guvs Huckabee & Romney both did yeoman’s work this past election cycle as well.

Two questions:
What's your definition of "yeoman's work"?
Who cares what Huckabee & Romney did in the last election?

To assist in your sorting through definitions, I kinda like the description of the phrase on this page:

A Plague on Words: “Yeoman’s Work”

And this sentence, from that page, seems to fit both Huckabee & Romney, for what its worth.

Describing something as “yeoman’s work,” then, carries the suggestion the work could have been done by anyone, and that the work is valuable only in a quantitative and not a qualitative sense.
