Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee vows not to quit presidential race

WASHINGTON - Republican Mike Huckabee on Saturday rejected suggestions that John McCain is the party's inevitable nominee and said he won't quit the presidential race.
"I didn't major in math," the former Arkansas governor told a cheering crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference meeting. "I majored in miracles."
Huckabee, who trails in the nomination race with 198 delegates to McCain's 719, said he was aware there had been rumors that he might quit the race, but reassured them: "I'm not quitting."
He said he is comfortable with where his campaign is now given the resources he's had and he planned to stay in the campaign until he could win or his opponent has the delegates to claim the prize. A total of 1,191 delegates are needed to secure the GOP nomination.
Huckabee said that his fundraising has been doing very well lately, and added: "We raised a quarter of a million dollars online yesterday."

Please don't give up on Mike Huckabee yet. He is a better candidate than McCain. It's been nothing short of amazing what Huckabee has been able to do with the campaign money has has to spend. Someone who has managed his finances this well throughout the race is someone I want managing the finances of this country.

Conservatives do NOT want McCain, they have made it clear. Republicans will never win with McCain as the republican nominee. Some will support the democrat candidate in spite of it, and some will altogether not vote.

I admire his pluck. Caucus is today for Washington.

I know Car 4 was dealing with a lot of candidates and candidates spouses last night.

He just won Kansas.

I'd like him to win, but at this point it seems to be mathematically impossible.

Huckabee for Prez!

Wow, he won Kansas with a 3 to 1 vote ratio.

Until McCain has over 50% of the delegates, Huckabee has a mathemetical chance.

Hopefully most of the Romney deligates will vote for Huckabee at the Republican convention. I don't know if that will put him over the top or not. I just hope McCain has less than 50% of the delegates going into the convention.

Huckabee has won Kansas and now Louisiana. Washington is still being counted, but with 87% of precincts reporting McCain is ahead by 200-something votes. Close race.
