Listen, it doesn’t matter if Politico is a bunch of slimes! It doesn’t matter if Carson is a good guy or not. It doesn’t matter if the Dems have done worse. The question is, did Dr. Carson tell people he got an offer from West Point when he didn’t? Those who campaign on a higher plain are going to be held to a higher standard. If he did he will be better off to admit it, apologize and move on. Once you step in it, the more you twist the worst it is going to stick!
For those of you who support Carson you need to understand that it is also better that these things come out now, rather than in the general election. Remember the 2000 elections? Bush was holding a 3-4 point lead going into the final weekend before the election. The story broke that Bush had gotten a DWI about 20 years before. Almost immediately the momentum shifted and the election ended in a photo finish.
Again, it doesn’t matter what the Dems have done. If it is true it is a character flaw which has to go into the equation of his character and electability.
