WASHINGTON—New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary left some GOP candidates with a hard-knocks hangover and others just happy to still be alive.
Here’s what to watch for Wednesday, as the race heads south and west—perhaps with a smaller cast of characters.
WHERE TO? Most Republican candidates made a beeline for South Carolina, which holds its GOP primary Feb. 20. The Democrats hold caucuses in Nevada that same day. The two states offer candidates their first opportunities to compete for a large and diverse electorate.

How does Hillary Clinton, also in New York, respond to her New Hampshire thumping amid talk of a campaign shake-up? “We’re going to take stock, but it’s going to be the campaign that I’ve got,” Clinton told MSNBC ahead of the vote.
