Upside: Huckabee has strong appeal among evangelical voters, he has emerged as a candidate of substance in the GOP and will be a serious contender in 2012.

Downside: Although Huckabee has gone a long way towards undoing his divisive image, most people will still associate him with the far right wing of the Republican party, and it may be too difficult for him to nail down the necessary crossover votes.
