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.

Barack Obama made a surprise appearance at the Pepsi Center just after Joe Biden wrapped up his vice presidential acceptance speech.

Hundreds of reporters and delegates that had been streaming out of the arena stormed back in when Obama hit the stage.

The capacity crowd of 19,000 greeted the presidential nominee with the ovation usually reserved for stoked fans at a rock concert. Then again, it’s no secret that a political convention isn’t much more than a show.

The convention moves Thursday to Invesco Field, Denver’s football stadium. More than 75,000 people are expected to attend.

The weather forecast for the outdoor event is 70 degrees and clear.
