I'm not buying into a weekend announcement, but one never knows...

Excerpt (at end of article):

Clark aides said they expect a decision before next Friday, when Clark delivers a speech at the University of Iowa. Some Clark associates said there could be an announcement as early as tomorrow, when he gives a previously scheduled speech in Knoxville, Tenn. Associates said that in recent days Clark has been aggressively recruiting a potential campaign staff, including former officials from Senator John McCain's bid for the Republican nomination in 2000 and Democrat Al Gore's 2000 presidential campaign.

1. why on a Saturday?

doesn't make sense. no one will be watching the news today, and only hardcore politicos will be paying attention to the sunday morning political shows.

not saying he won't do it, just kind of odd timing.

2. Have figured out why Clark is being coy -

It isn't just to research his chances, build attention and drive us nuts - it is to put Rove's bowels in knots.

3. He may hint today, but he'll probably announce on Wednesday (nt)
