LITTLE ROCK (AP) - Mike Huckabee was defiant and optimistic
about his future in the Republican presidential race as he
celebrated in his home state of Arkansas and elsewhere. Huckabee
told an enthusiastic crowd in Little Rock that over the past few
days many people tried to say the race was a two-man race. Well,
Huckabee said, it is and he's in it.
The Baptist minister and former Arkansas governor won primaries
in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and Tennessee and the Republican
caucus in West Virginia.
In Arkansas, Huckabee enjoyed broad support among those who
share his beliefs. Almost 90 percent of the Republican voters said
they are Protestant or "other Christian" and, among them, almost
six out of 10 voted for Huckabee. Competitors John McCain and Mitt
Romney shared support, in about equal strengths, from among the
remaining minority.
More than 70 percent of the voters described themselves as
born-again or evangelical Christian and, again, Huckabee received a
solid majority -- more than 60 percent. Among voters who said they
attend religious services weekly, about three-fifths supported
Huckabee.
