27. Big Advantages to Waiting
Why wont he declare himself now?

By playing coy for a little longer, he gets tons of free media attention (critical in an age where Shrub is projected to rake in $200MM), he attracts the attention of the critical independent voters who might otherwise pigeonhole a declared D or R, and he saves up his chips for a REALLY BIG ANNOUNCEMENT in a week or two.

hes not a career politican

Most people I know would count this as a very good thing.

I dont think the fact hes a general is why people dont like him

There are several people here who don't like him exactly because he's a general or otherwise associated with the military.
