This is more of a WI than a challenge, but for the sake of discussion, let's say Huckabee comes on stronger at the beginning of the Republican primaries, winning the Iowa caucuses by a larger margin, winning the South Carolina primary, then building the requisite momentum to do well in the later contests. Furthermore, insert whatever your favorite POD to screw the Democrats in 2008 is - maybe John Edwards wins the nomination and his scandal breaks, maybe he becomes Clinton or Obama's running mate and the scandal still breaks, whatever. Maybe throw in Mike Bloomberg running as an independent, splitting the liberal/moderate vote. Point is, Mike Huckabee becomes president in 2009.

How would we expect a Mike Huckabee administration to go, given his strong social conservatism and relative economic populism? How would he handle the financial crisis and the Great Eecession? Healthcare? Social issues, especially the gay rights movement? Foreign affairs, such as the wars in Iraq and Iran, the broader War on Terror, relations with Iran, etc?
