Ben Carson does horribly in New Hampshire Primary

Republican primary candidate, Ben Carson wasn't expected to do well in the New Hampshire primary because he didn't spend time there, had little to no organization, or ground game and as expected, he did horribly.

Among major Republican candidates, he came in last beating only former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore who many don't even know is running. Although a historic number of New Hampshire voters turned out, Carson received less than 3% of the vote. (I'm being nice because at the time of this writing it was closer to 2%)

Earlier today Dr. Carson discussed being willing to run with Donald Trumps as his VP choice. Seeing as that is now unlikely, he should be looking to end his campaign and get that conservative talk show that he has coming on Fox News or conservative talk radio.
