Sarah Huckabee, Field Director

You're a campaign employee, so you organize, recruit, manage, schmooze and promote. But when your candidate (a.k.a. "Daddy") thanks his supporters after a happy surprise second place finish in the Iowa Straw Poll, the daughter in you takes over and you get all choked up. Salon describes the moment:

At about that point, Huckabee's field director, who is also his 25-year-old daughter, Sarah, lost it. Her face turned red, her eyes overflowed, and she began wiping at her cheeks, over and over again.

No question about that staffer's long-term loyalty.
