I’d still personally vote for Cain.

Or maybe Fred

All aboard the 2016 merry-go-round!

Any bets as to when all of the people on his bandwagon jump ship at the first little issue?

Ben Carson May be First Pro-Life Republican Candidate to Run for President in 2016

And he may not be the first pro-life candidate to drop out of the race, but he'll be among the first five.

Dr. Carson doesn't stand the proverbial snowball's chance in H - E - double hockey sticks.
Good man but SNOWBALL's chance.

Besides being very personable and likeable (Clinton) and professional (can’t think of anyone for THAT slot), what would qualify Dr Ben to be a President ?

Carson needs to run for a lower office first.

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.

I think he’s qualified.

Of course ... nothing ... but that is no longer a wonderment or even worth commentary ... it is what it is.

I like to listen to Dr Carson speak ... but I don't think he's a "leader" in the sense of what we need,

He is CERTAINLY Surgeon General material.

Too soft spoken. Too inexperienced. Too naive. His Draft Ben Pac spends nothing on electing conservatives...but the consultants are raking it in. I don’t think Ben knows how he’s being used.

I think he’s qualified.

On those grounds so was Obama. The real question is that does he have the experience and ability to succeed as president and I don't see any evidence he does. Some spiffy speeches and unworkable ideas do not a president make.

“He is CERTAINLY Surgeon General material. “

I’ll buy that. We need need a good pro life surgeon general.

Remember clintons?

Sorry, I don't get the connection.

Dr. Carson is a good man, who joined the GOP.
From Wikipedia:
He is credited with being the first surgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins joined at the head. In 2008 he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush. After delivering a widely publicized speech at the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast, he became a popular conservative figure in political media for his views on social and political issues, spurring talk of his becoming a Republican candidate for the 2016 presidential election.

Cain murdered his brother Abel.

No I agree with Knarf...he’d make a good Surgeon General.

I’d like to see him return to Michigan and run for mayor of Detroit. He’s already a local hero and if he could handle that nest of snakes, he’ll have proven that he has the chops for higher office.
