Ben Carson officially switches political parties

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Its going to be a hard decision to choose Ben Carson or Ted Cruz.

It’s not just the United States Senate that switched political parties on Election Day.

Ben Carson, the neurosurgeon and conservative phenomenon who rocketed to fame when he challenged Barack Obama at a prayer breakfast last year, also officially changed his political affiliation, moving from independent to Republican.

The step is another indication Carson may run for president in 2016.

Carson, whose career was spent as a doctor at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Maryland, filed the paperwork in his new home county of Palm Beach, Florida, a traditional Democratic Party stronghold.

“It’s truly a pragmatic move because I have to run in one party or another. If you run as an independent, you only risk splitting the electorate,” Carson told the Washington Times just after making the change. “I clearly would not be welcome in the Democratic Party, and so that only leaves one party.

I have two thoughts when it comes to Dr. Carson...on the one hand, once you read his bio and all the things he's done in his life up to now, he's actually not a bad person...on the other hand - to borrow Ed Schultz's quote - if he seriously thinks moving to the Republican Party will help him in the long run, he can keep on pretending.
