No way he goes straight from the private sector to the presidency. If he wants to get into politics he needs to run for the House or get into state politics first.

Carson isn't seriously interested in Running for public office at nearly 65 years old. He is interested in a career as an analyst/speaker & for Black Republicans there is huge money to be made.
Any hints at being a Conservative & minorities (Blacks especially) are moved to the head of the Conservative line to put a darker face on their politics(Not attract minority voters)
They love someone other than White Males to spout off their backward social positions/ fiscal austerity(especially concerning social safety net programs).
Seems to be a good man ,but is a bit wishy washy on Affirmative Action since it did get him into Yale & open doors otherwise would have probably never opened :
"I believe that I benefited from Affirmative Action ........Only after I got to Yale did I realize admissions had taken a considerable risk on me & that I had been extended special consideration'"- Dr. Ben Carson
Carson goes on to admit he nearly flunked out of Yale as a Freshman because he was ill prepared, due to his background , to compete early on.
Unfortunately Carson doesn't believe the opportunity should be extended to other minorities . Unfortunately most of those against Affirmative Action don't realize how it works & how hard Carson had to work to capitalize on AA.
Don't worry about Carson as a serious politician. He is just cashing in on the Right Wing love to push forth minority Conservatives.
