It is by now well understood that someone from the Ben Carson campaign is responsible for the whole "Carson going to Florida" mess, and during a press conference today, Carson admitted it.

He sounds exhausted. He might be.

Red State right on the money, again.

I swear, if Carson had put half as much effort into defending himself against a real attack - Stubby Fingers’ bullying in November - he may have been the one in two place.

Temperature in Manchester, NH today: 52 and rain.
Temperature in Palm Beach, FL today: 83 and clear, or as the locals say “Nope, no need to wear socks today...”.

I’d go home for a “change of clothes”, too...

No hits from me for Leon Wolf, but it’s true that Carson’s campaign mis-managed the message.

Scoreboard, bro - real conservatives Cruz and Rubio beat New York values two to one.

At this point is the Carson campaign more or less just a fundraising entity and he’s trying to keep the gravy train flowing for as long as possible?

Yeah, maybe Carson should give Cruz his apology back.

Serioudly? The guy apologized for a crime he did not personally commit — refusing to throw his team under the bus — the root cause is traced to Carson — and you call *Ted Cruz* a sore loser?

Seriously?

That juvenile shit is beneath your dignity, DoughtyOne.

Carson took off to do his book tour a while back. He likes the attention but isn’t I for the long haul.

But I like him. As surgeon general.

Not to stick up for Red State, but where exactly are they wrong.

Isn’t it grand that you seem to be as happy about Rubio doing well as you are Cruz you are Cruz is.

It’s really too bad. I have to wonder what the Iowa result’s would have looked like now. He should have had better prep people around him from the get go.

Well, that’s because I am. Theyre both fine conservatives with different strengths, and I’m going to have a hard time choosing between the two come March.

These are about as effective as ***ASH ALERTS***. They just serve one purpose: As a warning that this is something to be scrolled past. If they weren’t so ubiquitous, they might be more effective.

Even so, you’re a cute little thing for continuing to bring your little toys out to share with the rest of us.
