LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Mike Huckabee is bringing his political expertise to Fox News Channel.

"The former Republican governor of Arkansas who ran for president this year will be a political commentator.

Bill Shine, the senior vice president of programming for FNC, calls Huckabee "a great addition" to the cable network's election coverage.

In a statement released by his daughter, Huckabee says he hopes to bring a "unique perspective from inside the dragon's belly," and to try to speak for millions of Americans who feel their voices are not being heard.

Huckabee is an ordained Baptist preacher who's been mentioned as a potential running mate for John McCain. Huckabee has formed a political action committee to raise money for McCain and other Republicans."
