But why him in particular? There are millions of people in this country who've never held office. The vast majority, as a matter of fact. No, it's the “we're not racist, see we voted for a black man” shtick again. Herman Cain 2.0.

Actually I liked Herman Cain better. He was much more vibrant speaker. Too bad for all those Chicago bimbo eruptions. Why him? Because he is actually running for nomination, appearing on TV frequently, and people must like what they see and hear.

Likability wins more than anything in a presidential contest.

You all want to get the media and academia off our backs about being Teathuglican racist KKK members. And it won’t work. If the Republicans somehow elected a minority president and vice president with a totally minority cabinet and congressional leadership the attacks and accusations would not stop for a moment.

The Barack Obama win had a racial ingredient in it. Call it white guilt. Carson is opposite of Obama. Carson talks about hard work and self reliance. Obama talks about spreading the wealth to those who fail to succeed. White liberals will not vote for Carson because they hate “self-reliance”.
