Obama was elected because he was more popular than the republican candidates. I didn't say I agreed with his stance on issues just that he is on record, where does Carson stand. Carson will not be running anyway and even if he could the GOP would put up someone like Romney before they let a political novice run.
I don't know, putting a black man up against Hillary Clinton? Sounds like a good idea to me. I for one am afraid what will be said about Carson and don't believe he deserves that, but who knows? Maybe once more people hear him speak they'll see what an amazing person he is.
The Right has spent 6 years telling us how 'unqualified' President Obama is...that he didn't have enough experience to be president. They blame everything he does or does not do on his lack of experience.
So they keep nominating and talking up people who have even less experience in politics than he does...Palin (gov. for 2.5 years), Romney (gov. for 4 years and an unpopular one at that), Cruz (2 years a senator), Paul (2 years a senator) and now Carson (0 prior political experience).
The day you see the republicans run a black man , well lets just say you will see them do something for the country first.. I'm waiting for that but won't hold my breath

They don't understand their own talking points.
Romney had many years of executive experience in the private sector, not to mention as governor of a state.
Palin as governor had more executive experience than Obama (though I don't really like the woman and think she's ill suited to the presidency).
Rand Paul ran his own medical practice - again, executive experience. Ben Carson was director of pediatric neurosurgery and ran a charity = executive experience.

Please! Herman Cain could have been nominated if someone didn't go digging for dirt on him (none as bad as the dirt people had on Clinton back in '92). There's no way the Democrats will ever let the Republicans run a black man without either slinging as much mud on them as they can or making stuff up. Look what happened with Clarence Thomas. Hearings about his alleged harassment, but not one peep out of those people about Bill Clinton's the next few years.
Yeah, Katygirl -- You're saying that any experience -- even driving a weiner-mobile for Oscar Mayer -- beats political experience.
But I don't agree. I wouldn't ask a president to operate on me for a heart-valve replacement...and I don't think a heart surgeon should be running the government.
Of course, the truth is that *every* president learns on the job...because no other job is even remotely as complex or as all-consuming.
