Who knew that Mike Huckabee has a state-of-the-art, multi-million call push-polling operation fueling his presidential bid? It is, technically, an independent operation. But one of the premier push-polling operations, Common Sense Issues, who we reported on last year when they were Common Sense Ohio, is going all out for Huckabee in primary states around the country. And they seem to be pulling most or all of their money from existing Huckabee backers.
They made tons of calls in Iowa and New Hampshire. They’re now making calls in Michigan and Florida. And they’ve already made 1 million calls for Huckabee in South Carolina, even though those calls appear to be illegal in the state (the group argues the law should not apply to them).
