According to the AP count, John McCain surpassed the requisite 1,191 GOP delegates as voters in Ohio, Vermont, Rhode Island and Texas put him over the threshold.
Moments after it became clear that McCain had captured the 1,191 delegates, Gov. Mike Huckabee ended his bid for the nomination just as he said he would do.
Huckabee promised to do everything he could to support Sen. McCain and unite the Republican party.
