What Obama accomplished in the Primary...
This was done against Hillary. These GOPer Presidential wannabe's all know what happened to Hillary and McCain , and don't want to be on the receiving end of an ass whoopin like that.

Is this why nobody is jumping in the race ?

1. Primaries aside
the GOP wannabes don't want to declare because right now they appear to have no shot. The President is only getting stronger.

5. I finally read an argument that makes sense....
.... other than my personal fav. "they're all scared!" .... which is a factor, but it cant be the only one.

Until these guys declare, they are free to give money from THEIR PACs to local pols etc. Money that can buy support later on. I believe this is a new law that didn't apply before. So the longer they wait to declare, the longer they can grease palms so to speak.

Makes sense.
