later that week which is just before Christmas?
It gives the media an easy out to not cover it or to give the details short shrift.
If it isnt released on the 20th, then how many besides committed Dem activists like us will pay attention?

Those that wanted to cover their ears and eyes earlier will be out golfing or whatever they like to do.
The MSM will play "White Xmas" ad nauseum.

just skim through it. And that is my issue with the timing.
