Santorum had low expectations of doing well in New Hampshire and was re-focusing his campaign on the third-in-the-nation vote in South Carolina.

The first event was supposed to kick-off his bus tour of the state with stops in York, Gaffney, Spartanburg, Due West, and Aiken. Campaign staff said those events would be re-scheduled, but they never were.

Instead, Santorum held a media event in Washington, D.C. to announce his quitting the race and endorsing the fast-rising Marco Rubio.
