Rick Perry's In, Jeb Sets The Date

Rick Perry is making it official today and Jeb has announced to announce on June 15. Why did Jeb pick today to set his date? Mark Caputo, Politico's Florida political reporter, has an idea;

The Bushes and Rick Perry have had a fraught relationship at times. And so, on day of Perry announcement, Jeb announces he'll announce

Caputo goes on to acknowledge that with so many candidates it could be just a coincidence.

That leaves just Christie, Kasich and Walker who haven't announced to announce. As I've mentioned before, The Donald is saying something on June 16 but I refuse to put him on my list.
