Ben Carson officially changes political parties, rejoins GOP

The Senate wasn’t the only political player bracing for a party switch on Tuesday.

Ben Carson, the pediatric neurosurgeon turned conservative sensation after he confronted President Obama at a prayer breakfast last year, used Election Day to officially change his party affiliation from independent back to Republican, moving yet another step closer to a possible 2016 presidential run.

Mr. Carson, who grew up poor in Detroit and rose to success as a doctor at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Maryland, made the paperwork change in his new home state of Florida. He filed the paperwork in Palm Beach County.

Mitt Romney for president and Ben Carson for VP would make a great team. Mitt can focus on the economy and Ben can tweak the Healthcare system.

For real 9:35. 2 successful, forward thinking problem solvers. Wouldn't that be, to borrow from 8:50-a breath of fresh air. It's what we need. Not career politicians or "community organizers."


Wow-"right" and "send" are my words to verify. Must be an omen.
