Mike Huckabee is the latest victim of a fierce game called "Nap Tag."

Throughout the 2008 election season, Huckabee's campaign aides and traveling press have been involved in the running practical joke.

The game consists of this: When a member of the press or Huckabee's staff makes the unfortunate mistake of falling asleep while traveling from one destination to another, the others conspire to write a humorous or embarrassing comment on a piece of paper and then place it near the head of the sleeping person. A photo is then taken to memorialize the dreamy, bubble-quote moment.

Almost everyone has been tagged at one time or another, including FOX News' embed producer, who's been caught asleep twice this election. Recently, players have nap-tagged some big names, including Huckabee surrogate and film star Chuck Norris, who got caught with a sign that read, "MH (Mike Huckabee) can beat me up." Minuteman founder Jim Gilchrist was snapped with a tag that read: "Suit and Tie Made in Mexico."

Until Monday, one person who had never been tagged was Huckabee himself. That outstanding record ended, thanks to Huckabee's daughter, Sarah.

While the photo has not been released, the piece of paper placed next to Huckabee's sleeping head read: "If I close my eyes hard enough, it feels like Air Force One."
