Senator Ben Carson?

[The Tradition]

More than half of GOP Sunshine State Senate primary voters would back Ben Carson replacing Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), according to a new poll.

About 56 percent would vote for the unsuccessful Republican presidential candidate if he ran, according to a News 13/Bay News 9 survey released Monday.

Another 18 percent would back Rep. David Jolly (R-Fla.), followed by Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) at 11 percent.
Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera (R-Fla.) ranks third, just missing double-digit voter support with 9 percent.

A trio of Florida Republicans completes the field, with Todd Wilcox at 7 percent, Ilya Katz at 4 percent and Carlos Beruff at 1 percent. Roughly 34 percent remain undecided, pollsters added, while 16 percent favor another unlisted candidate.

News 13/Bay News 9 conducted its latest survey of 724 likely GOP Senate primary voters in Florida via home phones and smart devices from March 4-6. It has a 3.7 percent margin of error.

FL sounds like the perfect place for him.

He would get steamrolled in a general. The man was getting 5 percent in the polls, he wouldn't win a general anywhere because he flat out sucks as a candidate.

I think he may be running against a really controversial, loud liberal guy. Carson might be appealing to the gentile souls down south in that match up.

I really think Ben Carson is an intelligent and extremely nice guy, although he has a few, of what I would consider, screwy opinions. But I don't think he's cut out for politics.

Yeah, if Carson thinks Trump is a blowhard, wait 'til he's in a debate with Alan Grayson.

I don't think Grayson will be the Dems candidate. However, Carson was so indifferent to campaigning I don't get the believe he could win a seat in the Senate. The man disappeared for days on end after he surged to the top of the polls. I truly do not believe he ever saw his run as more than a chance to improve his brand and sell books and speeches. What makes people think after his showing in the presidential primary that Carson would turn into the kind of dynamo that would hit every corner of Florida to win a Senate seat?

Ben Carson is the Todd Lickliter of politics?

If you look around I believe you can find pictures of a disinterested Carson at debates with his head resting in his palm.

You find the photos of him with his head in his palm. You brought it up, prove us wrong.

Umm, you don't understand Iowa basketball under Todd Lickliter, which is what Swag referenced. I know you like to be cute and relevant occasionally, but I'm not sure why you leap to defend a Republican candidate who got pummeled in the polls and squandered his chance by scheduling book signings over campaign events in Iowa.

Well, just because someone doesn't win, doesn't make them a loser. Liberal thinking again. You guys always confuse me with the way you think.

Next time you become the head of Pediatric Surgery at a prestigious hospital, let me know.

And you're still being a racist with your attitude.
