The Republican and Democratic presidential hopefuls leave New Hampshire for appearances in states with upcoming primaries and caucus: Michigan, Jan. 15; Nevada, Jan. 19; South Carolina, Jan. 19 for the Republicans, Jan. 26 for the Democrats; and Florida, Jan. 29.
The South Carolina Republican Party and FOX News have a debate scheduled Thursday in Myrtle Beach and all the GOP candidates are expected to attend.
JOHN MCCAIN (R) - Continuing his efforts to re-establish himself as the Republican front-runner, McCain will be in Michigan on Wednesday for town hall meetings in Grand Rapids and Waterford, ending the day with an appearance at the Citadel in Charleston, S.C.
MITT ROMNEY (R) – Banking on a rebound, Romney will campaign Wednesday in his native Michigan, where his father served as governor and ran briefly for president. Before departing for three town hall meetings in the Grand Rapids area, the former Massachusetts governor will hold a fund-raising event in Boston.
MIKE HUCKABEE (R) – Seeking another win (after Iowa) with the help of evangelical Christians, Huckabee will campaign Wednesday in areas of South Carolina where religious conservatives are most influential: Spartanburg and Greenville. He is scheduled to address the influential Detroit Economic Club on Friday.
RUDY GIULIANI (R) – Having largely skipped Iowa and New Hampshire, Giuliani will be in Florida on Wednesday and South Carolina. He's looking to finally get in the win column somewhere. Giuliani will be in Melbourne and West Palm Beach.
RON PAUL (R) – Has no events scheduled Wednesday, but will be in Myrtle Beach, S.C., on Thursday.
FRED THOMPSON (R) – With voting still under way in New Hampshire, Thompson shifted much of his campaign staff and resources to South Carolina, where he will be on a "Clear Conservative Choice" bus tour on Wednesday. The tour will be in Sumter, Florence, Conway and North Myrtle beach that day.
BARACK OBAMA (D) – The new Democratic front-runner will be in Jersey City, N.J., on Wednesday for a "Rally for Change" event before heading to South Carolina for a similar event in Charleston on Thursday. He already leads the polls in South Carolina, where blacks are nearly half the electorate in the state's Democratic primary.
HILLARY CLINTON (D) – Her post-New Hampshire schedule was not immediately available, indicating that Clinton intends to retool her campaign and perhaps focus more attention on the Feb. 5 round of primaries involving 24 states.
JOHN EDWARDS (D) – A native of South Carolina, Edwards will attend "Welcome Home" rallies Wednesday, noon at Clemson University and in the evening in Columbia. His advisers say he also plans to visit Nevada in the coming days, but did not provide details.
BILL RICHARDSON (D) – His schedule was not immediately available.
DENNIS KUCINICH (D) – He had no events scheduled Wednesday but will be in Troy, Mich., on Thursday.
