I have no problem with him running, but politics at this level is no game for beginners. As we have seen with so many other promising candidates.
Shouldn’t he try running for some lesser offices first ?
The most troublesome thing is the lack of executive experience.
I have nothing but admiration for his medical achievements, but running organizations is a skill, and a difficult one.
Anybody running a medical practice has a good bit more administrative experience than the Kenyan did.
Dr. Carson was the chief of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins with a large staff working under him. In fact, he pretty much single-handedly started the department, recruited a number of doctors who, under his mentoring, became top neurosurgeons in their own right, and managed the growth of this specialty and his department up until the last year or two.
His legacy at Hopkins is the greatest pediatric neurosurgery department in the world.
I don't know whether folks think that the sort of executive experience that's right for the job of president, but he is not without significant executive experience.

I was just going to type something almost identical to your post. Thanks for saving me the time, and, needless to say, I agree completely with your POV.
He’s a lot like Sarah, says it like it is without worrying about consequences. How will that play with the people? I think that’s up to us, to be sure the MSM & GOPe don’t get away with character assassination like they did for any conservative candidate in 2012. They picked them off one by one. We need to be ready this time.
Obama, GWB, Bush-41, McCain, etc were not exactly experts in running a large organization SUCCESSFULLY.
Obama never ran anything, GWB bankrupted every thing he tried running, and McCain has been a senator with no executive experience.
Only persons with SUCCESSFUL executive experience running for president since I began voting have been Reagan & Romney.
