NEW YORK, Feb. 24 (UPI) -- Mike Huckabee, the runner-up for the Republican U.S. presidential nomination, appeared on NBC's "Saturday Night Live," spoofing his diehard campaign.
In the "Weekend Update" section, the former Arkansas governor asked why he was said not to have a chance to win the Republican nomination. When the interviewer explained his delegate shortfall, Huckabee said it was lucky he is a "miracle guy." Then he said that when the American people want him to give up, he will go.
As a kicker, Huckabee refused to pick up signs from the "Weekend Update" team that they were finished with him, remaining firmly seated with them until he was told directly that the interview was over.
