WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican Mike Huckabee says he won't quit the presidential race and rejected suggestions John McCain is the party's inevitable nominee. Huckabee says voters in the remaining states deserve an election, not a coronation.
As if to prove his point, Kansas Republicans gave the former Arkansas governor a comfortable victory over McCain in today's GOP caucuses.
Huckabee began the day trailing in the nomination race with 198 delegates to McCain's 719. He said he is aware there had been rumors that he might quit the race, but assured conservatives that he is not quitting.
