Every since Obama ran for President; everybody and their momma thinks they are qualified to run for some office. I don't know if Carl is good senate material...but I'm just sayin'. It's like Luke Campbell running for Mayor down in Miami. How ridiculous. I think it makes light of office, and politics is a serious undertaking.

@pink. Your comment is very thought provoking. The way you explain it...i see it ..it's like when Ronald Reagan gained his presidency. I believe he was a movie star. He had this funny movie with a monkey. Hmm...after he became president every one else wanted to get in politics. Governor Arnold Shwarzenegger..did a movie as a pregnant man. Oh yeah,and that wrestler guy...Governor Jessie Ventura. The list goes on and on. I'm sure they had plenty of political experience prior becoming politicians. "My Bad"...it's only blacks that are unqualified to enter into politics. What was I thinking. Thanks for correcting us and setting us straight. It's obvious that you can take off your white pointy hat , but the white sheet still remains.
As Always ... Ignorance is Bliss.

Everybody...should try to run for the office of the President of these United States. BUT, running and winning are two different venues.

I say go for it. If dumb azz Sara Ailing can run, why not? She is about as dumb as a bag of rocks.
