Carson Campaigns in QC

Hundreds of Quad Cities residents turned out early this morning to size-up one of the newest republican candidates for president. Following his formal announcement Monday, Doctor Ben Carson wound up a two day trip to Iowa with a stop in Davenport.

The former pediatric neuro-surgeon says he had been wondering what to do in retirement.
Carson says there are three main threats to our country - fiscal irresponsibility, the growth of "Islamic Radical" terrorism around the world, and the deep divisions among Americans.
