What does Huckabee's win in Iowa mean?

As I predicted some time ago, Mike Huckabee won the Iowa caucus. With his evangelical populism, Huckabee is anathema to many traditional fiscal conservatives.
A possible rise in popularity for Gov. Huckabee (lets say he has a good showing in a few more states with evangelicals like South Carolina) might signal the beginnings of collapse for the social conservative/fiscal conservative/corporate Republican coalition that has been so successful for Republicans in national elections.
