That would be fantastic. I’d love to see some black conservatives or even just right leaning independents start winning in urban areas and helping break the Democrat lock on this voting block.

I am certain Dr. Carson is a good man, and running for mayor of Detroit or some office that matches his current political skills would be terrific.

One thing people should realize about seemingly conservative political unknowns is that not only do they not usually make good candidates for high office, are we really sure if they win they can resist the establishment/media’s attempt to tame them? It is a lot harder than it seems. How often to we see supposed conservatives go to Washington and become mushy moderates? This is especially true of some of our judicial appointments. Now how often do you see this behavior from the left? There is a lot more pressure on conservatives to conform, and most human beings want to be liked and want to be agreeable. We need elected officials that can resist this kind of pressure, even the most subtle kind.

A place like Detroit really does need a mayor who is an inspirational leader and Carson came from a situation that many there live in today. (And this time its not basketball of football stardom)
