BEN CARSON WINS ! BEN CARSON WINS ! BEN CARSON WINS !… ADVERTISEMENT
It was last month, amid the failing direct GOPe attacks against Donald Trump, when we predicted Wall Street/Team Jeb’s approach would shift to promoting Ben Carson instead. We even shared their targeted date to peak Carson would be the CNN debate. All media (Madison Ave., Hollywood, Park Row) would be called in for the assist.
Iowa poll okay for Trump, if right, but terrific for Ben Carson, also topping favorability by very big margin.

Well?….. After two weeks of continual pro-Carson push, tonight -coincidentally- SURPRISE !! Maryland announces Ben Carson wins the “month long” straw Poll:

Hmmm
Nice and brilliant Dr. with a great life story but is not the one to get us out of this mess. We need Patton, not Dr Welby. The rats and GOPe and our enemies would make mincemeat of him.
Besides, I can’t disagree with brilliant Sundance...this is a setup by the GOPe.
Ben Carson was on with Mark Levin this evening as well.
I watch everybody and I take notes.
The GOPe right now is hyping Carson and they have been for weeks plus Fiorina now that she will be in the debate tomorrow night.
This is a STRAW POLL, not a real one. FAKE.
Nope. Lame fabrication. Trump leading in all polls. What else they got?
Yep. I heard Carson tonight too. Mark Levin said Fiorina is a moderate. Michelle Bachmann sent him a note and said to look at her record. I don’t like how she plays the woman victim. Besides, she is being used by he GOPe. We are going to need a street fighter to overturn the corruption tables this time around.
Carson is a joke. He is so low energy he looks like he is about to pass out and bush looks like an olympic floor gymnast. Carson is going nowhere.
Fiorina is a nonstarter. She would be tagged as a “job cremator” by her opponents and would probably lose by a bigger margin than Romney.
LOL!
Carson hasn’t really done or said anything in a month to merit an increase. This is all an agenda driven media pushing this.
Are the tring to HERMAN CAIN him? Is there something in his background they can do to make his campaign a trainwreck? I have absolutely no trust in the media, the GOPe, and liberals that are pushing Carson.
imo
Carson is FOR legalizing the illegal alien millions...we must not allow him anywhere near the nomination or as the VP candidate.
Straw polls are meaningless. Trump won at the Minnesota Stare Fair with people putting corn in a bucket or something stupid like that. Means nothing.
Unfortunately, the masses don’t understand the difference. They see the word “poll” and that’s that.
Ben is from Maryland isn’t he? He unlike Jeb or Rubio wins in own state.
Carson lives in MD. He worked at Johns Hopkins.
Yes its all very contrived. Ben Carson is no way catching up to Donald Trump. How many stadiums has he filled up? Its ridiculous.
Yep. NYTimes poll came out today with Carson within the MOE.
6% to 23% in a week or two?
Not buying this at all.
“We need Patton, not Dr Welby. “
Threadwin!
He may sell in liberal Maryland but he hasn’t sold me.
