Mark the date: Loony Tune Ben Carson to make "major announcement on May 4

[cali]

Ben Carson will make a major announcement on May 4 in Detroit, his campaign tells CNN, setting the date and location for what's expected to be the launch of his presidential bid.

The announcement will take place at the Detroit Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts, and will be ticketed, but the rest of the details — the exact time, and how many tickets Carson will distribute to supporters — have yet to be hammered out, a spokeswoman said.

Indeed, the substance of the announcement itself, spokeswoman Deana Bass said, is still up in the air.

If Carson does kick off a presidential bid, as expected, his announcement would add a political newcomer and African-American candidate to the rapidly growing Republican field.

When I mentioned that he never held any political office - they responded by pointing out that neither did Eisenhower (other than Supreme Commander Allied Powers). I'm sure he will play Alan Keyes, Herman Cain role - to serve as living proof that right-wing Republicans are not racist.
