The McCain campaign played down Huckabee's victories, saying they had been expected. "John McCain is the presumptive nominee in this race and our path forward is unchanged by today's results," a spokeswoman, Jill Hazelbaker, said. Even before any results were in Saturday, Huckabee told reporters he was not pulling out of the race.
Huckabee, a pastor before he became governor of Arkansas, said: “I didn't major in math. I majored in miracles, and I still believe in them, too.”
