That sound you hear is the fat lady warming up. Any moment now, she’s going to start singing — and Dr. Ben Carson’s presidential campaign will officially be over.
Conservative commentator Armstrong Williams, the man often described by the media as Carson’s “business manager and confident,” ranted on Facebook Friday about the behavior of a couple of former Carson campaign staffers and their newfound relationship with billionaire businessman Donald Trump.
But, in his obvious anger, Williams may have told America much more about the state of the Carson campaign than he ever intended.

Of course, with Carson’s falling poll numbers lately, that those associated with the campaign have begun thinking about such things is no great surprise. That they would make it known publicly, however — that’s something else.
Getting out of the race now would be a smart move for Carson. By endorsing someone now, while he still has seven points of support in Iowa and five in New Hampshire to offer his candidate of choice, he could ensure himself a position in a future Republican administration.
