MIKE HUCKABEE

Huckabee Responds to Romney Endorsing McCain

Huckabee is conducting a live phone interview with Fox News.

Reacting to Romney's endorsement of McCain, he says, "There is a 'me too' crowd going on right now, and I happen to be the leader of the 'not me too' crowd."

"I may get beat, but I'm not going to quit. I'm not a quitter." Asked for what constitutes his best shot, Huckabee raises whether either he or McCain gets to 1,191.

"When Republicans don't want to have elections anymore, let's let them make the decision in a back room, a couple of guys around a table smoking cigars. I say, let's give the people a choice. If I walk off the stage, the people of Wisconsin, Texas, Ohio, North Carolina, they're being told 'thank you, we've already made the decision without you.'"

"If somebody gets to 1,191, I have to accept the verdict... The only people who are asking me to quit are the people who never supported me in the first place. To leave now would mean I'm listening to the people who never supported me, and ignoring the people who did support me."

On Romney: "I'm disappointed in the way he ran his campaign. He attacked me, and when we pointed out his record, he always said it was a personal attack... If you throw fastballs, you had better expect a few when you step up to the plate."
