They're saying Ben Carson is now tied with Donald Trump in some polls. That makes me even less likely to think Trump will be the nominee because I know it won't be Carson…and if he's doing as well as Trump, that means Trump's high polling numbers must really be meaningless.
Carson's running for the same reason Herman Cain (who at one time was the front-runner) was running last time. And why was Herman Cain running? Because none of us would have any idea who he was if he hadn't. It's just like Rick Santorum keeps running so we know who he is. He can't possibly think he has a chance to be the Republican nominee. He just wants people to know who he is so they won't Google his name to find out.
I have no idea who'll be the Republican nominee. If you forced me to predict right now, I'd say Rubio…but not that long ago, I would have said Scott Walker.
Not that I'm comfortable agreeing with Karl Rove but recently, he said — on Fox News, of course — "Let's just remember, we are at the beginning of this process. As of now, in 2012, Rick Perry was ahead at 29.9 percent, and we had seven more leads before it finally settled on Mitt Romney on Feb. 28 of 2012." He further said there might not be a nominee until March or April. Isn't it about time for Newt to get into this race?
