In the Republican race, it was a tough weekend for John McCain. Just days after he appeared set to seal up the party’s nomination, he was defeated by Mike Huckabee in Kansas and Louisiana. In the Kansas caucus, Huckabee grabbed 60 percent of the vote, while McCain got only 24 percent. In Washington State, Republican officials named John McCain the winner, but Huckabee is challenging the results. McCain was declared the winner when the party decided to stop counting votes before results from 13 percent of the state came in. At the time McCain had a slim lead of less than two percent over Huckabee. Had Huckabee won in Washington, it would have given him a three-state sweep on Saturday. Huckabee said he still has a chance to win the nomination.

Mike Huckabee: “There are only a few states that have voted. Twenty-seven have not. People in those twenty-seven states deserve more than a coronation, they deserve an election. They deserve to have their voices and their votes heard and counted. I know the pundits, and I know what they say. 'The math doesn't work out.’ Folks, I didn’t major in math; I majored in miracles, and I still believe in those, too.”
