Any re-focusing on Huck should be on extremism. If I read the GQR memo right, that's what moves folks. We need to know more about what he said and did as a pastor, and perhaps more likely, what he did as the head of the Southern Baptists in Arkansas. Did they pass nutty resolutiions on issues?  Did they oppose the teaching of, say, gravity and photosynthesis as well as evolution?  

Let's do a deep dive on "Teaching Kids to Kill", the book he wrote after a school shooting in AR. And he also wrote a book about fatherhood, or his father...some Daddy book. 

I suspect we have just begun to scratch the surface of his bat-shit crazy positions.

Research wise… we are at a point with all of the candidates that I don’t think we have to “divert” as much as “re-focus” if that makes sense.  Now that the documents are in a better, more thorough place across the board we can shift some energy to Huck (especially with all the Romney stuff we have compiled in the last 7 days).  I will layer Huck back into our research rotation (sounds kind of official) after we are locked down for the McCain poll on Sunday.

Had similar thought but wasn't sure if clouded by wishful thinking.

I saw a Michigan poll with Huckabee up this morning. I want to divert some of our research resources from Romney back to Huckabee. Big focus still on McCain. Let me know if you've got feedback.

Thanks
