ABCnews: Huckabee Wins Big in South, Challenges for Conservative Vote [View All]

[Renew Deal]

His campaign thought dead and now resurrected, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee greeted his supporters ebulliently after winning contests in West Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and his home state of Arkansas, with other possible victories to come.

"You know, over the past few days, people have been trying to say this is a two-man race," he said shortly after 10 p.m. "You know what? It is. And we're in it!"

Huckabee was tweaking the pundits and politicos who had written him off, suggesting that only Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney were true contenders.

Huckabee suggested today on "Good Morning America" that he'd stay in the race until all delegates were counted, but acknowledged he had a lot of work to do to overtake McCain.

"We gotta win a lot of delegates," Huckabee said. "The only way you can be assured of losing to leave the game."
