NBC's David Gregory monitored the progress of John McCain's Republican candidacy from the White House while ABC's Ron Claiborne (at the tail of the Tapper videostream) checked in on rival Mike Huckabee. "Math and maps still favor McCain. He has a huge lead in delegates and only a few of the remaining contests are in states with large numbers of evangelical Christians, Huckabee's base," Claiborne calculated before setting up the candidate for the punchline: "I did not major in math. I majored in miracles." Endorsements for McCain, NBC's Gregory suggested, could be "the antidote to the headline grabbing rebellion among conservatives." He repeated the explicit embrace of McCain by First Brother Jeb Bush and onetime Republican contender Gary Bauer. As for George Bush himself, Gregory aired the President's soundbite on Fox News Sunday that McCain "is a solid conservative and I would be glad to help him if he is the nominee."
