Remember that Leatherman is headquartered in a VERY LIBERAL STATE RUN BY LIBERALS TRADITIONALLY FOR A VERY LONG TIME --- (Oregon). I would submit that his announcement was purely political (brilliant, right?) to provide some favor for his company's status in Oregon.
A state which continues to drive businesses out through their liberal goverment agenda --- a mini-California, if you will.
your post made me think of something. What is a pocket knife endorsement worth these days anyway?
Will KERRY be shooting for the pocket protector manufacturer endorsement next?
