The Gentry Campaign's Non-Endorsement Endorsement [and then Re-Non-Endorsement] of Karl Dean

At some point one has to ask about the letter below--with Howard Gentry's name plastered all over the endorsement of Karl Dean by two of his campaign generals and despite the disclaimer about Mr. Gentry's public neutrality--how is it not a de facto endorsement of Mr. Dean by Mr. Gentry?




UPDATE: At 11:00 p.m., over 6 hours after receiving the Dean non-endorsement endorsement letter above, I received the letter below from the Gentry for Mayor Campaign. It seems to be a re-non-endorsement letter signed with apologies for the e-mail above by Howard Gentry.
