“Folks, I didn’t major in math. I majored in miracles, and I still believe in those too,” Governor Huckabee told supporters at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington D.C. on February 9, 2008.

Already beset by calls from establishment conservatives to “get out of the race,” Huckabee signaled that he would stay in until McCain earned the delegates necessary to win the nomination. That night, Huckabee trounced McCain in Kansas with 60 percent of the vote, capturing all 36 of the delegates at stake. McCain only earned 24 percent of the vote.
