The most-applauded line of Mike Huckabee’s speech to the Republican National Convention looks like the most inaccurate.

In speaking about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP’s vice presidential nominee, Huckabee said: “She got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, than Joe Biden got running for president of the United States.”

Wasilla has a population of about 9,000. Biden received close to 80,000 votes in his presidential bid earlier this year.

Biden is now the Democratic vice presidential nominee.
