Today we have conflicting reports, as we have for the past couple of months, of Fred! intending to announce in August, or is that September???
So, why, oh why, isn’t he just coming out and declaring what is obvious to everyone, that he will indeed be running for the President nomination??
My theory, he wants to tie up donors, and maximize his return on investment. With his popularity in the polls, he is liable to get a big boost in donations when he finally does declare. Do it too soon, and that money wont last through the nomination cycle (as McCain seems to be finding out.) Get in the fight too soon, and his message may run out of steam by the primaries. He’s also possibly dissuading donors from picking which candidate they want to back also.
