Chesapeake Primary

Some of the people not on the ballot with a major stake in tonight’s results.

On Delegates: 'I Majored In Miracles, Not Math'

Former Gov. Mike Huckabee: Enveloped by supporters and pressFormer Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee told a crowd of supporters at the University of Maryland in College Park that he would remain in the Republican presidential race until a candidate amasses the necessary 1,191 delegates to secure the nomination.

“This campaign is not over,” Huckabee said. “People in 27 states haven’t voted yet.”

That being said, NBC News currently projects Huckabee with 195 delegates, far behind Sen. John McCain, who has 721.

Perhaps acknowledging the uphill climb that he faces, Huckabee told the crowd of largely college students, that he “did not major in math, but majored in miracles.”

“And I still believe in (miracles),” he added.

Congressional candidate Donna Edwards endorsed the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama yesterday. Edwards is challenging incumbent Rep. Al Wynn, who has also endorsed Obama, in Maryland’s 4th Congressional District. The Edwards campaign called Obama a “fellow agent of change,” in a press release.

“Whether you choose to call it the Chesapeake primary or the Potomac Primary, it is undeniable that voters have an extraordinary opportunity to participate in the tidal wave of change that is sweeping the country and will crest right here in the fourth district on Feb. 12,” Edwards said in a statement. “In that spirit, I have decided to endorse a fellow candidate of change: Sen. Barack Obama,” she continued.
