Is. Dr. Ben Carson Gearing Up To Run For Office?

Will politics be Dr. Carson's next arena?

It sure is looking like the retiring pediatric neurosurgeon is going that route, because he has just been added as a keynote speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference. As you probably know, CPAC is the most influence conservative gathering in the United States.

Some background on Dr. Carson, compliments of CPAC's press release: "Dr. Benjamin Carson is the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. An internationally renowned physician, Dr. Carson has authored over 100 neurosurgical publications, along with five best-selling books, including the New York Times bestseller, America the Beautiful, and has been awarded 60 honorary doctorate degrees and dozens of national merit citations. He is a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and delivered the keynote address at the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast earlier this month."
