Then I got closer and saw "runbenrun.com" printed at the bottom. Yea, I want him to run, somewhere, just not for office.

Romney under-performed in the south because of the religion issue. These same racist nutcases who make up the GOP base in the south would never vote for a non-white and will stay home

who hears God speaking to him.

"he famously told The Weekly Standard that he was waiting until he “felt called” to make a run. Well, it looks like God is starting to speak to him…


Carson told The Weekly Standard this week that he’s “starting to feel” a tug to possibly run for national office, highlighting the intense response he gets when he travels around the nation speaking about contemporary issues."

Maybe Wyoming. But his skin color would lose him the entire South.

In any case this years version of Michael Steele won't be around at the end, the Billionaires won't allow it. No matter how nutty the base is.
