So theyve announced that they are going to announce the date when Fred will announce that hes running? So basically he has confirmed he will be seeking the presidency... isnt that sort of the point of the big announcement?
The article doesn't say Fred is going to "announce" anything today. The article is about an e-mail to Fred's closest supporters that he will talk to them today about his announcement date. It is traditional, and reasonable, to let your key supporters know about important events before the general public. Any announcement about todays phone call was made by the media, not by Fred's campaign.
A lot of people, including right here on FR, act like they don't have a clue about political campaigns...and maybe they don't.

So you've already voted? Who won? It was Ron Paul, but the neocon fascists defrauded him of his victory.

"Whats the plan for the new whine after his announcement?"That was a rhetorical question, right?
They'll say he's a waffler because waited until SOOOOOOOOO late in the race to make a decision.
If that doesn't work, there are the two trusty backups: not conservative enough and too soft on the borders.

Oh my that is an ugly picture. Someone get her concealer she has so many bags under eyes, she could pack for an extended trip to Tibet.
Forget the concealer, get her some compound.

Those dates that you mentioned are guesses from various people in the media. Not Fred’s “little fan dance” at all.
I guess this one is a hate Fred thread from most of the posters. Sounds like jealousy, people who don’t want him to announce at all.
Fred is doing just fine, and I really like the fact he ignores all of the “free advice” he is getting. Free advice is worth just what you pay for it.
He did an interview with WISH TV in Indianapolis when he was there. The reporter asked him what he would say to Peyton Manning, and he said to ignore most of the advice he is getting.

I put a sarcasm tag at the end of the post, and yes that was a rhetorical question, in the spirit of sarcasm.

The announcement is for an exploritory committee to determine what day would be best to announce. Good grief.

"just because the drive-bys and a bunch of losers ginned up way too early, there is no reason for the dominant predator to play their stupid game"They're attempting a bit of reverse psychology because the drive-byes and losers DID announce way too early. They want to try and level the playing field by bringing Fred down to theirs.

They’re announcing that there will be an announcement concerning a date when he will announce.

You’ve been here for seven years and your very first reply is a parrot of a rhetoric-byte.

I was totaly wrong about John F. Kennedy announcing his candidacy for president in Nov 1959.
It was JAN. 2, 1960 and he received the Democratic nomination six-month later, JULY 13, 1960.
Fred has Plenty of time - to kick the “also rans” out of the way.
To: Greystoke
I’ll believe it when I hear it from Fred himself.
