Ben Carson: 'I Believe I Can Be President'
With the latest Quinnipiac poll showing him tied for first place with four other GOP hopefuls, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said he believes there is a possibility he could actually become president.
The campaign is the first political race for the retired neurosurgeon, but that recent poll put him at 10 percent, tied for first, with the likes of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
When asked Sunday by ABC's "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos, "Are you starting to believe you can be president?" Carson replied, "I certainly believe that that is a possibility."
But, he added, voters should look at everything all the candidates are saying before making up their minds.
Carson also addressed the statement by one of his presidential rivals, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who recently blamed the creation of the Islamic State (ISIS) on Republican hawks.
