They might as well announce.  I don't know what they are waiting for.  Let's get this show on the road.

lol, Jeb pulled a Chafee.

Jeb Bush is quickly moving into joke candidate territory. I'm so happy.

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

It's just one thing after another with this clown. Biden-tier candidate.

not happier than I am =)

He has had the worst week of any candidate, even worse than Clinton but that is only because her supporters have zero integrity.

It has been a bad week for Bush but it is absurd to write him off. That being said, I'm sure Kasich is paying close attentio. Hard to see him not jumping in and maybe sooner than later.

Walker is waiting for the Wisconsin budget to be wrapped up.  Bush seems to just think he's better off announcing later instead of sooner for some reason.  I don't think he's right about that.

Bush is trying for his shock and awe fundraising so as soon as he becomes a real candidate he has to stop superpac (unlimited) fundraising. His team see the first debate as the real start. That being said, reports have indicated that some backers are questioning the! strategy in light of his weak poll numbers

He shouldn't have waited this long anyway.

He's not really the smart one.

He's not really the smart one.

I think he is just a beyond rusty campaigner, which is leading to a ridiculous number of gaffes that are probably being overblown by the media just a bit.

I can understand Walker wanting to do his job as Governor before he jumps in.  That's actually smart.  I just think Bush is waiting a little too long.  If he's going to wait until mid-June, why not just wait an extra 2-3 weeks until July 1 so he doesn't have to report fundraising for the second quarter?  Same with Walker?
