I seriously doubt the announcement will be an endorsement. Those who are assuming one may be let down today.

“I seriously doubt the announcement will be an endorsement. “

Well, then, the NRA is missing their chance.

What was it that Thompson said the other day?

“My idea of gun control is a steady aim.”

I think it is a ploy to get media attention. The announcement will be some policy plan, but he will have people’s attention at a key moment. So the media circus clowns will report on whatever it is he decides to announce and he gets some free attention. It’s as good a plan as any. The media are big-time players in this game of politics, and not reporters only. They don’t really care about informing the public. They want to herd the public into their own chosen ideological direction. So I’m all for some clever person herding them around for a change.
