Just kidding. Braun's announcement is notable only in that she actually made the announcement. I expected her to drop out.

But several women's groups have given her moral support, and her national poll numbers are actually not that bad (in John Edwards territory). Of course Edwards has money and the potential to compete in some of the early primary states, while Braun has $145,000.

Still, as long as she has cash to travel to the upcoming presidential forums/debates she should be fine.
