"Geddes, who was a field staffer for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's 2008 campaign in Iowa... echoed other Iowa political observers in assessing the Palin volunteers' dedication and quiet competence.

'They are very organized, and the team they have in place is unlike anything I've ever seen in this state before -- and I'm totally impressed by the way they've gone about it, she said. 'It's going to be a major upset if she gets in because I think these people are very underestimated.' [end of 'RCP' Coroy quote]

________________________________________________

That's a very revealing quote from one who was part of the well organized Huckabee effort that handily beat Romney by over 10%. A boots on the ground assessment.

I could see Singleton taking what he’s learned in Iowa and applying it nationwide as part of her official campaign. He might be able to do organizing on the ground at a fraction of what it costs the other campaigns to do it.
