I have nothing but respect for Dr. Carson. I’ve read his books and respect him in many ways. He got to where he is by merit and hard work. I, however, favor Cruz and Walker with Dr. Ben in a cabinet position.
The question, I think, should be “Would Dr. Carson accept a position as either Secretary of Commerce or (more likely) Surgeon General. My guess is that he would feel like he could be more influential on FOX or with his own nationally syndicated radio show. I don’t think that he would be successful in large doses. He is interesting in small doses because he is brilliant, conservative, and black (in that order), but he is otherwise far too laid-back a personality.
