This morning at the annual National Prayer Breakfast that is held in Washington, D.C. every year… best-selling author and a world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr. Ben Carson delivered the keynote address and what a GREAT speech it was. Lol… had President Obama looking down, around and with a frown at the end too!

Click it out below…

(Note: the best part of his speech to me was after about 17-18 minutes into his speech, Taxes and healthcare… Powerful stuff so check it out!)

Presidential Election 2012 - Washington Caucuses

Presidential Election 2012

Washington Caucuses

WINNER

Mitt Romney!

Saturday, March 3, 2012

Post time: 7:40pm CST

.

Today’s Washington Caucuses were a nonbinding contest that if nothing else… just might create a little momentum for one or more of the four candidates on their way into next week’s Super Tuesday. We shall see… I for one though really do not see there being enough time left between Washington and Super Tuesday to make that much of difference!
.

Loser tonight… That would have to be Ron Paul who spent time and was really looking for a strong finish here tonight, a FIRST Place Finish. Didn’t happen… Not even close!

…

I will not be posting the overall election totals tonight but you can keep up with the latest at FoxNews.com

- Washington Caucuses Results

……...…….........……………

Again… Congrats to Mitt for his first place finish tonight in the Washington Caucuses.

.

Alright then -- It’s ON TO SUPER TUESDAY!

Super Tuesday will be this coming Tuesday, March 6^th.
