Thats true mitch does not want to fight. Hes content to wait. He could have others fight the battle for him but with no big personal financial stake, he has no pressure to do so. He also would like to be a member of the establishment rather than being viewed as an upstart who never published any significant research or even finished his fellowship? prior to assuming the helm at dendreon. The only weight he carries is the promise of an approval if the trial endpoints are met. No clout other than that.
