Mike Huckabee Wins Kansas GOP Caucuses By Three-To-One Margin
Little Rock, AR – Former Arkansas Governor and Presidential Candidate
Mike Huckabee scored a major win in Kansas today, adding the Sunflower
State’s GOP Caucuses to his victory column.
“Earlier this morning, I said I didn’t major in math, I majored in
miracles. It looks like my victory in Kansas is one of them,” said
Huckabee.
“It was an important victory, especially after the pundits spent the
past few days saying this campaign is over. Kansas said not so fast,”
agreed Campaign Manager Chip Saltsman.
Under Kansas’ rules, Huckabee will get at least 24 out of 36 delegates
up for grabs from the Sunshine State. Early reports indicate that
the former Arkansas governor is winning a majority of the delegates and
congressional districts.
”I’m delighted that the good people of Kansas honored me with their
vote. They, like people in the other 26 states who were not a part
of Super Tuesday, deserve to have their voice heard -- and I am grateful
for their support,” said Huckabee, who also received a key endorsement
from the Kansas Right to Life chapter last week.
Huckabee said momentum is going his way – during the past 24 hours,
he has raised a quarter million dollars – the most he has raised in that
amount of time in the campaign
Yesterday, he conducted a whirlwind tour of Kansas, with cheering rallies
and events in Kansas City, Wichita, Topeka, and Garden City. Those
efforts paid off, he said.
“The voters of Kansas spoke today – they spoke with one voice: they
said I am the authentic conservative in this race. Clearly, I am pleased
by these results, but it is onward and upward to Virginia and Maryland
as we head into the Potomac primaries on Tuesday,” said Huckabee.
