Sarah Huckabee is desperately looking for a volunteer. Her father, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, may suddenly be a front runner in Iowa and in South Carolina and even becoming competitive nationally, but his rising profile has its complications.

But he is chiefly to blame for leaving the party of his father and grandfather without a healthy male heir. Bush tapped Dick Cheney seven years ago to be his Veep in part because he did not want a Vice President whose loyalties were divided between the Oval Office and the Des Moines Register.
