I'd vote for Carson. I bought his book (which is fantastic, BTW) and he dares to say things that need to be said. A man of courage.

Sure would be nice to compare his school records with Obama's....

Doesn't matter. He could get straight As in astrophysics and some people would say "Oh his daddy bought those grades for him". Obama on the other hand could flunk basketweaving and people like 21steelers would blame it on racism.

I think Palin attended 7 different colleges before someone decided to give her a degree.

If you think Obama is unqualified to be President, then using the same logic you would also conclude Carson is unqualified.
He himself, doesn't attribute his surgeon skills to intelligence, but rather his exceptional hand and eye coordination. Maybe
instead of running for President he could learn how to play cricket.

On the GOP side in 2016, the only realistic candidates are Bush and Christie. I wouldn't mind Jeb over some Dem candidates, but prefer Hillary to him.
Funny thing is, if Jeb isn't the candidate, many Republicans will vote for Hillary. Even wealthy folks don't like risking their wealth.

Palin attended 3 colleges- one on scholarship, and 2 where she worked her way through school. She didn't want to have any outstanding loan debt when she got out of college. She left the college she had a scholarship to because she was homesick and wanted to be closer to home. I don't see anything wrong with NOT wanting to be in debt.....

That's one reason why the Libs don't like her. She didn't go to one of the Big Three - Harvard, Yale, or Princeton. The top levels of the Federal government are manned almost entirely by grads of one of those places, mostly Harvard. How's that working out?

Yeah, pediatric neurosurgery takes no more intelligence than cricket. LMAO. Good luck with that argument.

How I see it:
Dr. Ben Carson's speaking style stands out above the crowd. His clear logic, calm voice and focus on problems AND solutions has captured my attention. A unified America is his focus. Dr. Carson's life story is inspiring to our youth as all Americans face many challenges in our over-regulated economy. I urge Dr. Carson to run in 2016. Gary A

Yeah, that Ivy League education is just stellar.

According to Wiki, Palin only spent 1 semester going to school close to home. Her total credits were from 7 different places and graduated in Idaho.
No her schools weren't from the big three, they were more like the Last Resorts. It's actually kind of a bizarre college experience on the face of it.

And if she was a neo-socialist you would b praising her for attending several different schools and having a well rounded and diverse college experience.

She was also a city councilwoman, mayor, chairman of a state oil and gas commission, and governor. I'm no big fan of hers, but if we are talking on paper qualifications, she was at least as qualified as Obama if not more. In most industries, a few years out of college nobody gives a **** where you went. It's what you accomplished after that matters, at least in the real world.

what's really bizarre is when a person claims to be a natural born American citizen, then gets foreign student loan money to attend an Ivy League college and has their records locked away from the general public. HOW BIZARRE!

Our country needs true leadership, and not some career politician who helped create the mess that we are in. Our status, and respect,in the world has never been lower in my lifetime then now. Hilary helped get us there.
I vote for Dr.Carson.

Ah, there it is. You had to find a black man to equate Carson with somehow. Liberals are the most racist pieces of **** out there.

Yes they are. And it's accepted and glorified.

'Cause they're both black? That's pretty racist.

They are both black, have been highly successful, and are well-spoken. That's not allowed, remember????

Sorry Bermuda, didn't mean to ruffle any feathers....I absolutely love Dr. Carson and would be proud to have him as our next President.

21....I bet you don't know who had a higher GPA at Yale between Bush and Kerry....I will give you one guess, it is the one that the media told you was a dummy.

No problem, you're forgiven...
