Here's a theory on how Walker is using that idea to railroad Rubio into the #2 spot with Rubio responding with surrogates hitting Walker.

http://hotair.com/archives/2015/06/11/scott-walker-quite-a-few-people-have-suggested-a-walkerrubio-ticket-to-me/

What's strange is Walker may eventually need to go negative on Rubio to survive but he's boxing himself in by now saying he has confidence in him. At the Romney summit, he did again use the "Senators haven't done jack" line though.

Walker tells FOX he'll announce in about a month. He's also coming up here to Canada for a governors/premiers confab and meeting Harper.

I just hope he's not waiting too late.  I can appreciate that he wants to finish his job as governor with the budget, but I think hopping into the race a month before the first debate is a little risky.  Anyone else agree?

Not to mention the last national poll has him at 7%

You're thinking of either an older poll or a statewide poll. The last National Poll has Walker tied for 2nd with Carson at 10%. Bush and Huckabee are tied for first at 12%:

Politico predicting that Walker will announce July 13.

[Mr. Morden]

Both Kasich and Webb keep saying that they're "getting closer" to a decision:

More Christie saying he'll decide this month (though I still think "decide this month" could mean that he'll "decide" by June 30, but not make the announcement until the first week of July):

Webb will decide within the next two weeks.

[RogueBeaver]

Confirmed: Walker announcing July 13.

[Likely Voter]

So is it right to say that on the GOP side the only 2 (polled) candidates that haven't announced or set a date are Christie and Kasich?

Yeah, the only other ones in that category are Ehrlich, Gilmore, King (and Palin if you count her).

Kasich was in Charlotte today.

Biden to announce decision by Aug. 1.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Announcement Schedule Update:

Jindal: June 24
Christie: "this month"
Walker: July 13
Kasich: "this summer"
Ehrlich, Gilmore, King:

Webb: "within the next two weeks"
Biden: "by Aug. 1"
Bloomberg, DeBlasio:

Bloomberg, DeBlasio:

Not quite.  For example, Webb said "within two weeks" when there were exactly two weeks left in June.  Kasich and King also said they'd decide by the end of this month.  So it's:

Jindal: June 24
Christie, Kasich, King, Webb: will "decide" by the end of June, though I suppose the actual announcement might slip into early July
Walker: July 13
Biden: by Aug. 1
Ehrlich, Gilmore, Palin: unknown

AFAIK, neither Bloomberg nor DeBlasio have said that they're thinking about running, so not sure why they would be listed.

There is apparently an effort in some democratic circles to draft Bloomberg, and DeBlasio gets included in a primary poll every so often.

Right, but neither of them have said that they're thinking about running, so they don't have to announce anything.

[RogueBeaver]

Walker creates a "testing the waters" committee.

[Mr. Morden]

Webb will be in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on July 17th, for an event that will also feature several of the already-announced candidates:
