Remember the name Josh Kennedy. He eventually may go down in Web-campaign history with S.R. Sidarth, the Democratic operative whose "macaca" video helped put the "former" in former Virginia Sen. George Allen.

Mr. Kennedy has been detailed by the Arkansas Democratic Party to trail Mike Huckabee around Iowa this week with a video camera.

This morning he was perched at a table in a Pizza Ranch restaurant in Spencer, balancing his camera to capture every word Mr. Huckabee, former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential hopeful, said to the 15 folks who showed up.

Mr. Huckabee, it turns out, can deliver folksy one-liners as well as any other candidate, which may be why so many observers say he's done so well in the debates.

Among yesterday's gems that Arkansas Democrats might find on their videotape are Mr. Huckabee's standards for supporters to show up at Saturday's straw poll: "What we need is a person with an Iowa driver's license, who will be 18 before November, and the semblance of a pulse."

Mr. Kennedy said he wasn't allowed to speak to the press, but Mr. Huckabee said the young man is more than welcome to keep following him.

"I'm flattered to get the attention, but No. 2, I'm glad they're spending money up here rather than back home, hurting my friends," Mr. Huckabee said, adding he wouldn't say anything in Mr. Kennedy's presence he wouldn't say away from it. "Well, maybe a few things."
