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: Yeomans Work
And this sentence, from that page, seems to fit both Huckabee & Romney, for what its worth.
Describing something as yeomans 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.
Woo-Hoo! OUCH!
The PDSer was right without knowing it....LOL.
