    LOL.

    I'm not a Carson supporter. I don't think he's qualified to be president.

    But, I also don't think Hillary Clinton is qualified to be President. More than that, she's disqualified herself.

    So, in a choice of the lesser of two evils, I would enthusiastically support Ben Carson. Certainly, the people that would make up a Carson administration would be more palatable to me than the people in a second Clinton administration.

    And, I'm not arguing that he will win the nomination, btw. He may be this cycle's Huckabee, or Santorum. But, maybe he's not. And, he is beating Clinton in head to head polling.

    People liked Obama. People do not like Hillary. The more the pubic gets to know her, the less they like her.

    Carson is kooky, but he's likable. Whoever wins each party's nomination starts with about 47% support. The 6% who can be swayed vote on narrative, on liability.

    Carson has a chance to win the Republican nomination, and the Republican nominee has a chance to win the election.

    The meaningfulness of head-to-head polling this far out is not large.

    But I agree. For whatever it says about the world we live in, Carson can win the nomination and the nominee can win against Clinton.

    My pubes will never get to know her. (Long, long ago, there was a brief period when Hillary seemed kind of hot, though.)

    Hell of a profile for an American president!

    Oh, she's qualified. It might be her biggest weakness in a sense. Political types like leaders who can be influenced.

    Unless you're a Christian who goes to church on Sunday, or especially a Catholic.

    In that case, the "likeable guy" plans to send you straight to hell.

    Speaking of political fans who only care about supporting their team....

    Apparently, the concept of professionalism in journalism has escaped you as well.

    LTL's return was good, but getting RickStain back on the same day is more than I could have hoped for!

    Welcome back! Good to see you. You've been missed.

    I hope you and your son have been well.

    Is it too much for me to hope for Bodie's return? Good things come in threes, right?
