Carson is a brilliant guy, and there certainly are other very smart conservatives out there. My only disappointment here is that he decided to surround himself with the dumbest of conservatives (the Fox crowd). He's smart enough to realize the game they're playing though, so perhaps this is just about opening a new revenue stream; he'll probably start doing speeches to conservative groups and I guarantee he'll release a book soon.
Hannity and the right love propping up blacks to attack Obama because it allows them to make statements the right normally couldn't make without being criticized; they also truly think blacks will turn from their lazy ways if more black conservatives arise to expose liberal reverse racism. This is a game that has been played in this country since Booker T Washington. I doubt Carson will lower himself to the level of Cain, but he'll have to keep their interest somehow; the less vicious they are toward Obama and blacks, the less worth they have to conservatives (see JC Watts, Colin Powell).
