I think that the surge by Huckabee will be short-lived as also the surge by Obama.
It will be Guiliani vs HillBill in November. Can't wait for those debates.

Interesting. I think It'll be Giuliani too, vs Obama or Clinton
I think Huckabee is a bit of a flash in the pan. I think Giuliani will overtake him and go on to take the nomination. I think Guiliani will win NY, NJ, CT and maybe CA.. and last I looked, he was leading in the polls in Florida too, so I know he's not dead yet. He might not win these early states, but he's still polling fairly high in a lot of national polls.
Obama might have seemed like a bit of a flash in the pan at first (I still think he's a lightweight)... But if he wins NH that gives him serious momentum going into SC, where he's already leading. If he wins NH and SC back to back after winning Iowa, then he could go all the way. I think Hillary's people are just now realizing how serious a threat Obama is to take the whole thing.
Personally I think Giuliani beats Obama, and its a tossup if its Giuliani vs Hillary but I might give the edge to Rudy there. Otherwise, both Obama and Hillary would beat any other Republican in November.
Huckabee seems like a nice guy but I think if the Republicans nominate him for November, independents will go toward the Democrats in droves. Independents are the ones who will swing this election, and Obama/Clinton are probably a lot more appealing to the independent crowd than Huckabee is.
...my 2 cents
