    I hope he stays in to till the NC primary, that way I can sneak in and take advantage of his sad-sack party's lackluster attendance and get unlimited free eats on Carson's dime.

      Oh please. You know he’d skimp out on the food. The guy screams “A sleeve of Ritz crackers and a Costco deli platter can serve 3000 people.”

    “This is not even below expectations for the campaign,” Dees said.

    There were six separate clusters of balloons spread around the room.

    I heard the campaign song played last night was “Time In A Bottle” by Jim Croce.

      More personality among the ballon clusters than the clusters of supporters.

      And the blanket. In fact I’d vote for the blanket before Carson.

    Ain’t no party like a Carson Party because a Carson party will suddenly just doze off for a minute.

    Crazy is not my first language, but according to Google Translate this means: “Our expectations were so low that we could not possibly have underperformed them.”

      He’s stealing a page out of the Bush campaign playbook: make expectations low/non-existent that when the candidate does something simple like basic math, he looks like Stephen Hawking.

    I think the Carson campaign is in Brewster’s Millions mode now: spend all the largess grifted from gullible individual/corporate donors. To that end, the knitted blanket was purchased for $290,000.

      I’m not sure if repeatedly sticking knitting needles in your eyes and ears to dull the greater pain is really knitting, technically speaking.

          I imagine I’ll read this in the NY Times:

          “Meanwhile, Ben Carson himself was not present, only a cardboard cutout of the candidate could be seen in the corner. A few staffers taking pictures with it.

          Editor’s Note: we have been informed that the cardboard cutout was, in fact, Ben Carson. We will not be updated this post.”

            There’s a Weekend at Bernie’s style joke about a hotel in the Pocconos, Mrs. Carson and a cardboard cut-out of Ben I’m pretty sure...
