Huckabee Intends to Stay In
WASHINGTON -- Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is resisting calls from some Republicans for him to abandon his presidential campaign.
Huckabee, who is trailing Sen. John McCain substantially in the hunt for delegates, said Monday that "the goal is to win, and nobody has 1,191 delegates yet."
Appearing in an interview on CNN, he said he won't step aside "as long as my guys are still waving the pom-poms."
Huckabee told NBC's "Today" show that "it's not a healthy thing for our party to sort of become lethargic, say it's (the presidential race) is over, have a coronation."
