Will conservatives rally around him to thwart McCain? Time for a second look?

The Hill:

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s campaign said Thursday the former governor will continue his campaign for the Republican nomination even now that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has left the race.

A spokeswoman for Huckabee said the campaign plans to “press forward.”
“We know it’s an uphill climb, but we knew that a year ago when we announced,” said Kirsten Fedewa, a Huckabee spokeswoman.

With Romney out of the race, Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) is considered by most to be the presumptive frontrunner.

That said, Huckabee strung together an impressive slew of Southern victories on Super Tuesday, winning contests in his home state as well as West Virginia, Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee.
