I just had a chance to go back and watch Mike Huckabee's speech from last night. If you didn't get to see it, it is well worth your time. He was on fire. Last night was just spectacular!

My favorite lines:

1) After telling a story about growing up poor, he quipped, "I'm not a Republican because I grew up rich. I'm a Republican because I didn't want to spend the rest of my life poor, waiting for the government to rescue me." Wow.

2) "I'm so tired of hearing of hearing about [Governor Palin's] lack of experience. I want to tell you folks something. She got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska than Joe Biden got running for President of the United States." Yikes.

3) "Most of us can lift our arms high in the air to signify when we want something. He can't even lift his arms to his shoulder, which is a constant reminder that his life is marked not by what he's wanting to receive, but rather by what he has already given." Outstanding.
