McCrory’s Tease

Julie Rose at WFAE public radio in Charlotte tagged Pat McCrory’s announcement-that-he-will-have-an-announcement-later: “Nothing excites donors or attracts free publicity like a good tease.”
 
She also pointed out that McCrory announced he’s delaying his “big announcement” because “campaigns have become too long and too costly.”
 
This from a man who has been running since he lost three years ago. And has raised more than $1 million.
 
She further quotes McCrory:”Elections are barely over before candidates are off and running again.”
 
Well, he would know.
 
But Rose points out practical advantages of delaying an announcement:

“He can keep on voicing robo-calls for the conservative advocacy group Americans for Prosperity….McCrory can also keep doing his regular gig as a pundit on local TV and travelling the state as a guest speaker for nonprofit groups that may not want to appear as if they’re endorsing him.”
