More on the Pro-Huck Push Poll

Jonathan Martin at the Politico has posted some additional information on the push pull calls that are going on in Iowa over the last couple of days for Huckabee. Basically he is finding that it is being done by an organization called "Common Sense" which has registered the site trusthuckabee.com (by the way, Steve at No More Mister Nice Blog did a bit of digging on the registration information for that site and yesterday morning it was registered to an address in Richfield, OH and in the evening it had been changed to a Hernsdon, VA address. Actually, what has happened in that the registrar has paid some extra money to make the registration private--which is very interesting to me. Why would you not want someone to know that you are running a political website?

FYI, the registration info according to Steve was:
Common Sense Issues
3046 Brecksville Rd
c/o New Media Communications
Richfield, OH 44286

Now, Huck and his campaign manager have both publicly stated that they would like for it to end ("Now stop that...") but the organization has stated that it will not. Jonathan has dug more into the individuals involved on his above linked post. It is not clear if the fact that the organization is recruiting "precinct captains" for Huckabee is illegal, but I would like to see some clarification.
