No doubt. I would still vote for carson over hillary or bernie. It just blows my mind how unexceptional some of these people that are truly in the running to be the next president are.
I just read the waitbutwhy posts about the first 24 presidents (up until McKinley). There were a lot of crummy presidents in the late 1800s but they were all formidable human beings. Almost every president in the 50 years after Lincoln was a general in the civil war, spoke an absurd number of languages, and was an immensely well-educated and accomplished person. It's a pretty stark comparison to the sad sacks we have to deal with today.
Anyway, I don't think carson is a real candidate. He just feels too much like a one month fluke like how Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain were #1 for a month in 2011 before the pre-eminent candidate took over the polls. The major difference this time is that there is no such pre-eminent guy. We all thought it was Bush, but Bush appears to be done. I'd bet on Rubio or Cruz.
