I agree that Huckabee would be a good candidate for Pres in 2008. He is socially conservative so this would keep a large part of the GOP base from sitting out the election. He is fiscally conservative but has voted for tax increases on occasion (such as a 1/8 cent sales tax increase to rehab AR state parks). Having recently lost 100 pounds he's now championing a drive to reform public health by putting more into preventative health measures such as weight-loss and stop smoking plans. He knows how to work with the Dems even more so than W (the Dems have held both houses of the AR State Legislature since Reconstruction, AR has never voted for a US GOP Senator since Reconstruction, and three of the four US Reps are Dems). And I do not believe there are any skeletons in his closet. Plus in 2006 he's term-limited as AR Governor and neither AR US Senator slot is open, so he has two whole years to raise $$$ and get himself out to the country.
