Yep. In the latest ElonUniversity poll of slightly over 1,000 North Carolinians, Ben Carson pulls over
30% support from Republicans who say they'll vote in March's primary.
Pity former Strong Man Donald
Trump. He's fallen to just 19%. That brand isn't wearing well.
But get a load of that Ben
Carson brand! Christian triumphalism wrapped in the soft-spoken guise of a
divinely inspired death angel who looks with disdain on the Jews for not
shooting their way out of Auschwitz, who thinks prison makes you gay, who
thinks that having health insurance under Obamacare is worse than slavery, who
denounces evolution as the work of the devil, and who has certain astounding
insights into the true function of certain world archeological monuments.
Not that I want to
discourage this state's born-again Republicans from voting for this candidate.
Perhaps he really is the "conservative Obama" that y'all have been
seeking to lead you out of the wilderness of weak Bush/Boehner/McConnell
Republicanism.
Assuming Carson's appeal
to church-goers is not a polling mirage, he's going to inspire people in March who
don't always vote, or even ever vote, because he represents righteous America
besieged by godlessness. He can fly like St. Michael, the guardian angel, armor
and drawn sword flashing in the sun, and some people -- perhaps a majority of
Republicans in North Carolina -- will vote for that.
But he will not take the
nomination, and what will become of those voters in November if their man doesn't
ultimately make it? Will they also come out next November with the same sense of purpose if
the Republican candidate is Rubio?
I bought a pyramid today. I then went to every grocery store in Boone and cleaned them out of flour, corn, and every other grain I could find. It's in the front yard. Come help yourselves. God bless the ignorant body mechanic.........
