Talking Points Memo catches Huckabee's repeated and awkward use of the word "vertical" in his media appearances and connects it to the parlance of the Radical Christian Right.
UPDATE:
The Carpetbagger Report has more on Huckabee's vertical-ness. Seems ol' Huck wants us to celebrate "Vertical Day." No one really knows what that is, but considering who he is I'm imagining it's Crypto-Evangelical for something relating to God up above, giving UP your sins to God, getting right with God in HEAVEN ABOVE. I'm imagining a vertical column of souls rising to heaven during the Rapture while all non-believers are "left behind." Carpetbagger links to a DailyKos entry on the matter in which this language is described as a "dog-whistle" for evangelicals who want a Radical Christian-Right President and Radical Christian Right America.
