Ron, in Test the Waters mode, it takes about three months to bring up a campaign. Rudy took about that much time. I believe Huckabee took half a year. I'm not sure about the others. On Sep. 5th in will be three months for Fred in Test the Waters mode.
So cool your heels and watch that date. Never let the DBM determine when a candidate should announce.
I’m skeptical, but not unreasonable. We’ll see what happens.
