This came out within an hour or so of my previous post (I guess some other candidate will have to pick up on the "formaldehyde fight"). Actually, this is fairly surprising. Who schedules (well in advance) a press conference for Tax Day (of all days) to announce whether he/she is running for office and then says, "Nope, I'm not runnin'"? Obviously, it was just huge publicity stunt (is that so wrong?), but given the circumstances listed above, I still find it surprising that she's not running. And it's disappointing, too, because it could have been so entertaining to follow!But Daniels -- who cited the monetary expense of running as her reason for not running -- did vow to continue to "fight" for whatever it is that she stands for (I was never able to quite tell what that was). In her own parting words: "We will keep fighting so that one day the voices of the dishwashers, cashiers, bus drivers and porn stars will be heard just as loudly as those of the lawyer, the banker and the insurance company executive. This is my pledge. This is our fight."
