Former Arkansas Governor and Republican contender Michael Huckabee has revived his chances in the race to the White House by winning contests in Georgia, Alabama, West Virginia and his home state of Arkansas.

He came in second in Oklahoma.

Huckabee, who won Iowa primary last month, emerged victorious in the West Virginia, taking away 18 delegates to the Republican National Convention on a day when 24 states are holding primaries and caucuses to later nominate presidential candidates.

Huckabee's victory has come as a devastating blow for former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who has till now scored a victory only in Utah.
