Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has withdrawn from the Republican presidential race, telling supporters at about 9:15 p.m. eastern time that it "looks pretty apparent tonight" that Arizona Sen. John McCain will reach the 1,191-delegate threshold needed to clinch the GOP nomination, as the networks projected a little earlier this evening.

Huckabee said he called McCain to congratulate him and offered "my commitment to him and to the party to do everything possible to unite our party, to more importantly to unite our country, so that we can be the best nation we can be."

"Senator McCain has an honorable campaign because he is an honorable man," Huckabee said.

Huckabee noted that he began his campaign with little name recognition and financial resources. With a shoestring budget, Huckabee won a handful of Southern primaries in the Super Tuesday voting on February 5, which established McCain emerged as the clear Republican front-runner and effectively forced the exit of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who had been competing with Huckabee for the votes of conservatives.
