Carson is brilliant, but not always right. If he had any semblance of people skills I might give him a though, but he is just so damn awkward on the mic he looks like Ricky Bobby in his first interview. That probably won't cut it in a general election. It's going to be Jeb or (shutter) Trump. To be honest, Jeb is probably the best to come from the Bush family, but after the GWB Iraq debacle, among other things, I doubt many outside the GOP will give him due respect. I say that without knowing much about his time in Florida, which I have heard from highly biased sources was a mess. I really want Paul, but no one gives the Libertarians any respect in the GOP. It's a shame, fiscally, they are spot on IMO.
