Tue Feb 5, 2008 10:45pm EST

ATLANTA, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee won the Georgia Republican primary on Tuesday, outpacing his rivals for the party's U.S. presidential nomination in a key Southern state where voters were attracted to his socially conservative message, U.S. media projected.

Georgia was the 4th state to go for Huckabee in voting on Super Tuesday, so called because nearly half of the U.S. states are holding contests to choose Republican or Democratic candidates for the November general election.

Republican front-runner John McCain has won 7 states so far, while Mitt Romney has captured 3 states in Super Tuesday voting, projections showed.
