These data in no way exonerate Mike Huckabee from accusations of being a big taxer and spender. Such data only indicate in relative terms- apparently other state governments than Arkansas's are becoming even more voracious tax and spenders. All of the data above are rankings.

It is likely the Democratic campaign in 2008 will essentially be the theme "everything was wonderful in the 1990s and everything sucks now, therefore Clinton was a better President than Bush, therefore the Democrats should run the country rather than the Republicans." If Huckabee is the nominee, and he is running against Hillary, he can turn that campaign on its head and compare Arkansas economic performance on his watch vs. its performance on Bill's watch (plus all the myriad of scandals in the Arkansas statehouse during the Clinton/ Tucker era).
