Apparently, Mike Huckabee [has challenged Fred Thompson to a debate](http://www.eyeon08.com/2007/09/07/huckabee-challenges-thompson-to-1-on-1-debate/?ref=mereorthodoxy.com).

This is a fairly savvy play by Huckabee, as the suggestion seems to be playing pretty well among conservatives that have heard (I would watch!). We know that Huck can be thoughtful and articulate under the gun–can Fred? This would give us all an excellent chance to find out.

Seriously, Huckabee for VP is looking like an easier and easier call all the time.

Of course, we all remember [what happened last time Fred was challenged to a debate](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdAm6UY4xOE&ref=mereorthodoxy.com).
