Mike Huckabee, former presidential candidate who was governor of Arkansas, will speak tonight at the Republican Naitonal Convention. Here are highlights, provided by the GOP:

On why he is a Republican:

“I’m not a Republican because I grew up rich, but because I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life poor, waiting for the government to rescue me.”

On the type of change John McCain will bring to Washington:

“John McCain doesn’t want the kind of change that allows the government to reach deeper into your paycheck and pick your doctor, your child’s school, or even the kind of car you drive or how much you inflate the tires.”

On the potential consequences of Obama’s lack of experience and judgment in foreign policy:

“Maybe the most dangerous threat of an Obama presidency is that he would continue to give madmen the benefit of the doubt. If he’s wrong just once, we will pay a heavy price.”
