Odds to be the GOP nominee as of August 11, 2015.

Jeb Bush 1.8 to 1
Scott Walker 4.5 to 1
Marco Rubio 5 to 1
Ben Carson 5.5 to 1
Donald Trump 6 to 1
Chris Christie 12 to 1
Ted Cruz 12 to 1
Carly Fiorina 20 to 1
Rand Paul 20 to 1
Rick Perry 40 to 1
Rick Santorum 50 to 1
Bobby Jindal 100 to 1

You can see that Carson as of today, and these can change daily, is in fourth place among those on the list. You can also see the names that are missing.

Things may get much better for the Top GOP, if the Email scandal from today that Clinton may be disqualified and again the Clinton's are up to their usual tricks.

I got them from a specific site with login required.
But here is a list of all the candidates with a link we can post. As you can see there are some differences but Carson is still ahead of some fairly big names.

This list below is from July 21, 2015 and things have moved around a bit since then. The first list I gave is more accurate for the names the first list did give.

Candidate Odds
Jeb Bush* 3/1
Marco Rubio* 4/1
Scott Walker* 4/1
Rand Paul* 8/1
Ben Carson* 10/1
Donald Trump* 12/1
Mike Huckabee* 15/1
Chris Christie* 20/1
Ted Cruz* 25/1
John Kasich* 30/1
Bobby Jindal* 35/1
Lindsey Graham* 35/1
George Pataki* 35/1
Rick Santorum* 40/1
Rick Perry* 40/1
Carly Fiorina* 50/1
Field 30/1
*declared candidate

Carson is 14/1 today at a real Irish betting site that will take your money, (if you're outside the US), and doesn't require log in just to look at the odds. Details at the link in this link. I got Kasich at 25/1 for the nom. and 40/1 for the Prez.


John Kasich, Anyone?

Ben Carson is a hypocrite. He slams Planned Parenthood for selling aborted fetal tissue for medical research, but he himself has done research on fetuses that were in the 9th and 17 weeks of gestation, then he co-authored an article about his findings.

Ben Carson Once Did Research On 17-Week Aborted Fetal Tissue
That should kill any chance he ever had to hold elected office. A pro-lifer that actually experimented on aborted fetuses. However, I thought asking hookers to dress you up in diapers would kill Vitter's career too. If a Republican says God and/or Jesus enough, there is almost nothing the GOP base won't overlook.

That seems to be the key, doesn't it.

I am sure he will say that he has evolved, like how Mr. Trump has evolved on the abortion issue and President Obama has evolved on the same sex marriage issue. :rolleye: Nonetheless, I suspect that Dr. Carson does not believe in too much evolution, based on his past statements.
