He continued to deflect talk of interest in being McCain's choice for vice president.
''I'm not going to be asked. I think it's pretty evident that there would be a whole lot of people on the list long, long before me, and one of them would say 'yes,''' Huckabee said.
Told that McCain was heavily favored to win the primaries in Maryland and Virginia on Tuesday, Huckabee said he would do better than expected.
''I think we'll get a nice little bump out of what happened in Kansas,'' Huckabee said.
Huckabee spent part of Sunday at services at the late Rev. Jerry Falwell's church in Lynchburg, Va. The candidate steered clear of politics, but was welcomed as a ''dear friend'' by the Rev. Jonathan Falwell, who became pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church after his father died last year.
Huckabee was escorted by Jerry Falwell Jr., chancellor of Liberty University, who had endorsed him in November.
