Geraldo Rivera made unabashedly racist remarks about Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson — while accusing Republicans of racism. The gist of it: they’re only saying they’ll vote for Carson because he’s black. On Fox News’ “The Five” on Thursday, Rivera commented on a Monmouth County College poll showing Carson would defeat Donald Trump in a head-to-head match-up. The show’s resident liberal said he was reminded of the 1993 New York City mayoral election, in which African-American incumbent Mayor David Dinkins polled high and looked like he was going to win, only to be defeated by Rudy Giuliani. “I think a lot of Republicans polled by Monmouth are giving the politically correct answer,” Rivera said. “I think it’s all about being the black neurosurgeon, brilliant guy.” When co-host Greg Gutfeld asked whether people voted for Obama because he was black, Rivera again gave a racist response, saying, “Obama was the least black guy you could possibly find.” If Carson were failing in the polls it would be because Republicans are racist, but if he’s winning it’s because Republicans are racist. Got that? Poster Comment: Affirmative action, bait and switch. George W. Bush "compassionate conservatives". Fake bleeding hearts. 
Whorealdo wants us to vote for Marco Rubio, no doubt.

Maybe he's right. If some retired white neurosurgeon decided he wanted to become prez because he didn't have a decent retirement hobby, would he get as much attention as Carson has gotten? I do kinda doubt it. Carson is popular because he was such a pioneering pediatric neurosurgeon, world renowned. But, just as with Obama, it does make people feel good about themselves to think, "Sure, I'll vote for that black guy because that's just how broad-minded I really am". How else do you explain people voting for anyone as inexperienced and loopy as Obama (and, most likely, Carson)? Neither Obama or Carson really had the kind of political or career experience to suit them to conduct foreign policy, execute the laws faithfully, lead a large complex government, etc.
Possible, but I think the American people got that out of their system with Obama. Been there, done that, got the unemployment check. (But I do think that's where Fiorina is getting her support -- "I'll vote for that woman because that's just how open-minded I really am".) They like Carson because he's nice. Soft spoken, erudite, good speaker, non-combative. People get all warm and fuzzy. Nice guy, but he'd make a lousy President. A Republican Jimmy Carter.
Iowa is notable for this. They love the cuddly candidates. Like Huckster in 2008.
Polling and voting are different. As Jonah Goldberg says, "But polling absent consequences is a form of protest. With accountability, minds may change. Geraldo knows this. After Iowa votes and Carson ends up in single digits, Geraldo can say, "See? I told you! Republicans only pretended to like Carson."
A lot of pundits think Carson will win Iowa. At present, I think he has an edge to make a last-minute breakout. In Iowa results, what counts is who peaks and surges in the last week. Everything before that is just foreplay and skirmishing and gladhanding the natives while appearing in lots of hog and corn venues with green tractors and combines.

Waaaay too much emphasis on Iowa as some great predictor state. Especially given the fact that it's a caucus state.
