LITTLE ROCK — Former presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee is going from being a player in the presidential election to a commentator on it.
The former Arkansas governor has joined Fox News Channel as a contributor on election coverage, the news channel announced Thursday.
"I hope to bring the unique perspective from 'inside the dragon's belly' as well as to try and speak for the millions of hard-working middle class Americans who really do feel that their voices are not being heard," Huckabee said in a prepared statement released by his daughter, Sarah. "I saw that on the campaign trail and continue to see as I speak to groups of all kinds around the country as well as campaign for other candidates."

Huckabee will regularly contribute to the "America’s Election HQ" coverage, the network announced this afternoon.
“Governor Huckabee’s campaign experience and knowledge of politics makes him a great addition to our ongoing election coverage,” Bill Shine, Fox senior vice president of programming, said in a statement.
Huckabee's humor and homespun turns of phrase won't hurt either. One recent joke fell flat, however, when at the National Rifle Association conference last month, he quipped about Barack Obama ducking for cover when a loud bang sounded offstage while Huckabee was speaking.
The former Arkansas governor, who dropped out of the race and endorsed John McCain after the March primary in Texas, apologized for that one.
