Ben Carson will be notably absent from his New Hampshire primary party on Tuesday.
The retired neurosurgeon will instead fly to South Carolina in the afternoon, his campaign said. Following Tuesday's first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire, South Carolina Republicans will vote next, on Feb. 20.
The decision to leave New Hampshire early comes after Carson's campaign last week said he would be going home to Florida instead of campaigning in New Hampshire or South Carolina following the Iowa caucuses.

I think Carson intends to now shoot himself in his other foot.
Note to CNN and Cruz campaign. Carson is not OUT! He is skipping a party.
Just clarifying.
He sold all the books he could in New Hampshire. On to South Carolina!
Cruz forced him to miss the party!
Cruz made him do it.
Carson has no traction up North.
Doesn’t he carry a change of clothes with him?-)
It’s warmer to do laundry in SC.
The Cruz campaign would never believe that, unless it came from CNN.
....”Carson intends to now shoot himself in his other foot”......
Looks that way....you have to wonder if his advisers are working for the other sides!
Note to Carson campaign: Everything you’re doing leads people to the conclusion that you’re not serious and intend to withdraw. S**t or get off the pot!
I’ve posted before and will do so again regarding Carson. Here in the upstate region of South Carolina (Greenville, Greer, Spartanburg, Anderson, etc.), there have been no Carson radio ads, no Carson TV ads, and no Carson mailers, while there have been plenty for Cruz, Rubio, Bush, and Trump. But nothing, and I repeat - NOTHING - from Carson. So, how serious is he really for the nomination, especially when (and please correct me if I have this wrong), his campaign took in nearly $22 Million in 4QTR 2015.
Dr. Carson’s campaign has already died. He is just living now on the last gasp boost he gained from blaming Cruz for repeating his campaigns misteps. He is an amazing person, but no politician. No way he hangs on past South Carolina. Like I said - his campaign has been done for several weeks.
Carson must be quitting for sure to clean his other dirty sock.
Except from my mother. She was glad to swing by my place with her "I voted" sticker on her shirt and declaration of her voting for the "the nice guy Ben Carson".
Seems as Dr. Carson quit the campaign some time ago, he just has not made it official with the “suspending” announcement.
“I think Carson intends to now shoot himself in his other foot. “
Ben’s running out of left feet in which to put a bullet. I believe this to be nasty Cruz’s fault, done at the bidding of his Goldman Sachs overlords. Apparently everything is.
