Why isn’t he “presidential material? Because he’s not a politician? That to me is one of his strengths. He’s for America the way we grew up with it, not this politically correct jungle we’re in now.

Please run Dr. Carson.

Check out his comments on guns first. I like the guy OK but he’s not the one for President. Let him run for Congress or Senate first.

I don’t believe the office of President is the first political job one should hold, no matter who you are.

I think Carson is mostly conservative, but given some of his statements I’m led to believe he could too easily be swayed to a “consensus” opinion. He doesn’t strike me as nearly tough enough for the job of President.

That said, I could see him in the House. And I’d REALLY love to see him in the Maryland State House, God knows we could use SOME sort of conservative representation there!

I'll accept "less than perfect" in a winning candidate who otherwise has his head screwed on straight.

You aren't going to get Wyoming style laws in Baltimore anyway. Dr. Carson has also made it clear he won't impose Baltimore style gun laws on Wyoming. He clearly understands and respects the concept of federalism as defined by the founders.

Carson is just not ready for the Presidency. He is a good voice for conservatism and like I said he needs to run for Congress or the Senate and figure out what he really believes.
