No, Carson has no policy experience and by all measures doesn't seem to have a lot of policy insight. His life story as it's been presented is the entire package. Now that he's being taken seriously by voters he's going to get the joys of living in the spotlight.

"Carson has no policy experience "

He didn't formulate policies when he was director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins? Or in his role as a member of the Board of Directors at Costco?

I'm sorry, when Oama was running in 2008, after a whopping 2 years in the US Senate, what was his policy experience, exactly>

"by all measures doesn't seem to have a lot of policy insight"

A lot of Republicans would disagree. The man knows how to solve complex problems, he has proven that, hasn't he?

Eisenhower had no political experience either, and he is regarded as a spectacular president.

"he's going to get the joys of living in the spotlight"

And that's fine, he's in the big leagues. But it should bve applied consistently to all candidates, correct? Because it's not. Obama would not release his academic records, and no one asked for an explanation, no one dug them up like they did with Bush. So why does a reporter not wonder why Obama refuses to release his records, but attack McCain for his transcript? How is that fair?
