WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Sunday his bid for the Republican presidential nomination is not "impossible" as some people have stated.

Huckabee said on CBS' "Face the Nation" he intends to stay in the race and despite some experts' comments, he believes he has a chance to beat Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., for his party's nomination.

"This country was built on the impossible," Huckabee said. "And it's impossible that I'm still in the race.

"In politics, so many things can happen that can change the landscape overnight. A candidate can say something, do something, something can happen, and everything can change."

Whatever the outcome of the primaries, Huckabee said during Sunday's edition of NBC's "Meet the Press" he would vote for whatever candidate the Republican Party put forward.

"Oh, sure, I'm going to vote for the Republican nominee," Huckabee, who won the Kansas caucuses and Louisiana primary Saturday. "I would have said that even when we had 10 people on the stage, because as I looked at the stage, I said, 'Any of these guys are better than any of those guys' from my perspective."
