I think he’ll bow to the pressure being applied by the GOP not to announce until after the midterms. He has, by all accounts, become something of a millstone around the necks of Republican candidates. Also, an earlier announcement might very well motivate Democrats and Independents who might otherwise sit this one out.

I have a tendency to agree, but, I think that if his polling numbers start to drop, then, he'll announce his run. I think that his rationale is one of "the lower the polling numbers, the more likely the prosecution." He is also going to play a game of chicken with the Republican Party -- nominate me, or, I'll run as a third-party candidate to get even.
