Former Gov. Mike Huckabee: "Let me clear the air about whether guys like me would only support an evangelical. Of the four people on the two tickets, the only self-professed evangelical is Barack Obama, and he supports changing the definition of marriage, believes that human life is disposable and expendable at any time in the womb or even beyond the womb, and tells people of faith that they must bow their knees to the god of government and violate their faith and conscience in order to comply with what he calls health care. Friends, I know we can do better!"

"I care far less about where Mitt Romney takes his family to church than I do about where he takes this country," says Huckabee on day three of the GOP convention.

Huckabee: "The Democrats say we ought to give Barack Obama credit for trying. That sounds like the nonsense of giving every kid a trophy for showing up. Friends, we're talking about leading the country, not playing on a third-grade soccer team."

Rice, like many of the convention’s headlining speakers, was once speculated to be one of Mitt Romney’s possible vice presidential picks. Rice strongly denied interest in the position. Nevertheless, while some conservatives swooned, others, opposing Rice’s more lenient stance on abortion, said no way.

Mitt Romney promised conservative supporters that his chosen running mate would be anti-abortion at the Palmetto Freedom Forum last year. He followed through in his socially conservative pick of Paul Ryan.
