You know, if you're going to try to go do a Reader's Digest and provide Free Republic with little snippets of the actual article, the least you could do is give us the paragraph that tell us who "Carson" is:
"It included big names like Cruz and Christie, but also some rising stars, like Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon who has reinvented himself as an outspoken conservative and won an enthusiastic following in the process."
My apologies. I tried to post the largest contiguous collection of paragraphs I could without exceeding the limits of what is allowed here - keeping it less than 300 words or less than 1/2 of the original article. Thank you for commenting.
