I don't believe that. I don't think there is any connection at all between the special designation and Cheek deciding not to run.
That's one of the great things about this group, jennyd. We can disagree on a point, but nothing gets personal. We'll see how it plays out.
I happen to believe that there is a connection and that is why it took Cheek so long to make a decision. Those things don't get worked out in a couple of hours. Cheek knew what he was going to do all along. It just took time to get what some others wanted worked out and get as many people involved in the lacrosse case on board.
