Mike Huckabee, a pastor before he became governor of Arkansas, said Saturday that he would not bow out of the Republican primary despite Senator John McCain’s huge lead in the race for convention delegates.
“I didn’t major in math,” Mr. Huckabee said in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference. “I majored in miracles, and I still believe in them too.”
