I hope Ben Carson doesn't run in 2016, despite the apparent push from conservatives....

Barbella

Senator
because if he does, all of us racists will have this dilemma to contend with:

What IF the democrats put up a white person as their nominee? How can we justify voting for another black guy? I mean, the first one didn't work out all that well, did he?

What to do, what to do....sigh. Decisions, decisions!

Dr Ben Carson has more sense than just about anyone who is a possible candidate.

But then............... if it is a Carson/ Clinton election, we would have the choice of being either racist or sexist (as has been stated). And the great thing is that everyone in the country who votes Republican or Democrat would be one or the other.

That sort of diffuses everything it seems.

I understand what you're trying to point out. But one Fvcked black man doesn't make all black men Fvcked up.

I like him and all but I wouldn't want to see him run as president. Maybe as Governor though. The options we have this year freaking suck. Anthony Brown - honestly seems like a good person, nice guy. But, he was in charge of our healthcare website which is a piece of crap and being replaced - so he obviously can't manage things. And Doug Gansler... OMFG - what a unappealing name for the male anatomy he is..... and the Repbulican I have never heard of. He could be MD's first black Governor, in a heartbeat though.

I don't think Dr Ben would fare well in a run for governor. I think his extreme conservative republican agenda would prove to be unpopular.

I like Doug...I've had the opportunity to speak with him a few times and I like his work as Attorney General...but he is a bit of a wild card. Other than that, I'm in agreement that the slate is pretty poor.

I know some attorney's who have worked with Gansler... and they don't paint a pretty picture. I did think it was pretty lame last summer when Browns campaign seized on a cell phone pic of Gansler at an underaged party where he stopped by to give something to his kid as if he was shirking his duty as a representative of Government that he didn't bust the party.

I think Ben would do well for Gov' because he is popular local figure and well... black.. to be honest. And, whoever carries the day with Baltimore will win. I think he could get the vote on his race alone in Baltimore city. Simple as that.

Yeah...I don't think black means that much. Steele didn't win...

Steele was otherwise a relative unknown to the people of the city. Carson has been a prominent figure in a hospital system that serves the poor and underprivaledged. He has more popularity amongst the common folk.

Steele unknown??? I have to disagree.

Hopkins also is the hospital for the elite. He was a great surgeon, no doubt, but I truly believe you overstate his popularity in the area.

Baltimore is democratic and liberal. Carson is not.

Hopkins is a community hospital and they turn no one away. They do have an Elite staff though. Baltimore is democratic and liberal, but I think you under estimate how much traction he would get among the black churches and pastors in the area - and how that does tend to drive voting.

And, yes, i would say Steele was an unknown among average people. I had never heard of him before he was Ehrlich's LT.

He ran for Senate after he was Lt. Gov...so he was well known; a statewide elected black politician...

The black churches didn't care that he was black...They cared that he was a Republican.

I am just saying as a right leaning person in a blue state, I was not familiar on a personal level with anything he had done. any project, any programs, etc. But, Carson does donate, he has a foundation, he is well known outside of politics which is why I think it would be differnet. But, regardless - the man isn't going to be on the State Ballot come November, so its just really pointless speculating.

And I'm saying, as a left winger living outside Annapolis, Carson is seen as a right wing lunatic.

Actually you may be using sarcasm but you also used the republican meme that it appears they still believe, that Obama voter's voted for him because he was black and those who didn't vote for him were all racist. To me this toppost exactly mirrors that republican meme.

Republicans are saying that whoever didn't vote for Obama is a racist? Really? I never saw that being said....LOLOLOL

I did. It was a case of republicans projecting more than saying they were. Projecting as in pretending libs all felt that way.
