As far as I know, Fred has NEVER announced any possible date by which he'd announce. Some political blog suggested the July 4th date, and everyone started repeating it, morphing into "Fred said he'd announce on July 4th, so what's his problem now".
Unless Fred himself states it, it's all speculation. I'm also suspicious when an article slamming Fred is basing it's premise on a complaint by an anonymous 'key backer'. Does the writer know FOR SURE if the person with whom he's speaking truly IS a key backer, or is just posing as one in order to further the chances of another candidate?
Whoops! I read that too fast! I see now that they’re quoting Wamp, but it’s interesting how they turned Wamp’s statements into some sort of negative about Fred, when he didn’t mean that at all.
