Huckabee Pledges to Stay in Race
   posted 11:48 am Sat February 09, 2008 - 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.
