Jeb Bush is in a fight for third place in the New Hampshire Republican primary, but told supporters he's optimistic as he makes his way to South Carolina.

"This campaign's not dead," he told about 250 people at Manchester Community College. He thanked his volunteers, many of whom came from Florida, and said the pundits "had it all figured out last Monday night when the Iowa caucuses were complete. They said the race was now a three-person race between two freshmen senators and a reality TV star. And while the reality TV star's still doing well, it looks like you all have reset the race."
