Huckabee wins in Kansas
09/02/2008 22:51 - (SA)
Overland Park - Former Arkansas Gov
Mike Huckabee won the Kansas contest on Saturday to choose a
Republican US presidential candidate, chalking up another
victory after a strong showing in the South earlier in the
week, US media projected.
The Baptist minister, whose shoestring campaign appeals to
social conservatives, won four Southern states and West
Virginia on Tuesday, when nearly half of US states chose
candidates for the November election.
Arizona Sen John McCain leads the race for the Republican
nomination and his ultimate victory is almost certain after his
chief rival, former Massachusetts Gov Mitt Romney, dropped out
on Thursday.
Huckabee is now his only major opponent and is running a
distant second.
