Why should a candidate have to declare before early 2012? What's the rush? The notion that a candidate must declare 1-1/2 years before the election is ridiculous.

Like a lot of people, I'm sick and tired of Karl Rove. And it makes me sick to my stomach when Hannity calls Karl Rove, "the architect". Karl Rove is a jerk and I'm sick of him being promoted as some type of expert. And what's with the stupid "straw vote"? Only a small number of people participate in these straw votes. Why do we pay so much attention to these straw polls.

The GOP establishment that doesn't exist says you must declare your intention to run for President 1-1/2 years prior to the election otherwise some unspecified event will be triggered that may cause some subsequent event that may turn out to be bad. It's all very clear according to the "conservative" pundits on FOX, David Frum and George Will. It is written in stone and cannot be transgressed.
