As Wired's Sarah Lai Stirland reports, Huckabee's secret weapons are "Alex and Brett Harris, a pair of homeschooled evangelical twin teen prodigies in a suburb south of Portland, Oregon."

The twins, along with Bill Goins, co-founded HucksArmy, perhaps the most modern volunteer operation in politics today.

Excerpt from Stirland's piece (emphasis mine):

Hucksarmy.com uses Meetup to organize group meetings, but that's where the resemblance to 2004's coffee-and-croissants netroots ends. The Harris brothers and their campaign managers are building a national team with specific responsibilities. For example, there's a point person for almost all 50 states, and special "liaisons" on each of the popular social-networking sites. The twins and their 28-year-old volunteer campaign manager, Jimmy Morris, who lives in the small town of Joplin, Missouri, meet nightly via conference call to strategize and to share ideas that have bubbled up through regional Meetup groups during the day.

The site is also a nerve center through which resources and ideas can flow almost instantaneously. A last-minute Monday rally for Mike Huckabee in Warren, Michigan, for example, was scheduled on Sunday night. Jeffrey Quesnelle, who heads the Michigan battalion of Hucks Army, sent an e-mail out to 200 members, and some 500 people showed up to meet the candidate, he says.

I'm quoted at the close of the story noting that social conservatives are, and always have been, an extremely well-networked group (something that TechRepublican contributor Ethan Demme and I have discussed on quite a few occassions - especially with regard to home-schoolers):

The Harris twins' project is an online manifestation of what historically has been a very tight-knit community of social conservatives, who traditionally kept a low, but powerful, profile in national politics, says David All, a political technology and communications consultant and founder of the online Republican PAC Slatecard.

"They've been social networking without the proper tools for years," All says. "And now they're using some of that well-organized online elbow grease to help forward their cause."

Hucks Army isn't just a rabid torrent of energy.

It's a well-organized machine with the focus and leadership needed to accomplish tasks and retain some sort of message control. These individuals are the Generals of that volunteer army and they know what the heck they are doing. Their army listens to them.

I've been on a number of Special Election 72-Hour Task Forces and served as a Marshall for Bush-Cheney '04 helping coordinate the ground game for Franklin County, Ohio -- these guys are doing that same thing on the modern campaign trail.

Beyond the Republican Primary, I hope to a be a part of a similar volunteer operation, focused like a laser on defeating Hillary. I am hopeful that these guys will get behind whomever our nominee is to head up that effort. We need them beyond this battle to win the war.

It's not often that we get a chance to work in Chuck Norris jokes in this space. But I will because I can:

The Sherman tank was originaly called the Norris tank until Chuck Norris decided it wasn't tough enough to be associated with him. The Army, for fear of Chuck Norris, renamed the tank and promised to develop a weapon more fitting of his name. To date, no weapon created has been badass enough to be named after Chuck Norris.

So couple Chuck Norris with Hucks Army and you get a serious one-two punch.
