34. ie, for selfish reasons
He declares his affiliation and candidacy and he loses any income he may have get being a commentary should he decide not to run.

in other words, he's keeping his options open, even though by doing so, he's hurting the other dem candidates. and thereby helping bush*.

i don't buy this excuse anyway. being a declared republican didn't stop buchanan or bennett from being commentators.
