I get that we have had a lot of people change their minds over the years based upon current information, but his answer has evolved over the course of a week, which shows he may not even know his answer or may not agree with the answers he is giving in some way.

I also think that the family issue was the cause of this to begin with. I dont think he was prepared to answer that question officially, and he didn't want to say anything publicly to disagree with what his brother did without talking to him first. They took a few days to not only get with George W. on this, but also came up with a solid stance on this going forward. That is my take on it. Personally I wouldn't go public unless I absolutely had to if it would hurt one of my brothers. I would do exactly what I said and make sure we are on the same page before I did

Regardless this will become a non-issue since the election is 18 months away. If this happened next year however, then that would be different.
