Ben Carson would rather run a loony, no-hoper campaign for president than a slightly less hopeless campaign for Maryland open senate seat. Makes sense, since history shows the grifting opportunities are much greater for presidential losers than senatorial losers.

I figure that all the teabag candidates are positioning themselves to be Jeb's outreach candidate for Vice-President, that outreach being from Ultra-Conservative wing of the GOP to the Ultra-Ultra-Totally-Batshit-Crazy wing of the party. Grifting opportunities for wingnut veep candidates seem to be the richest of all. Thank you, Sarah, for inspiring us all.
