Donald Trump, sources close to his family, and political insiders in New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina all say Christie is not going to run. Indeed, Republican strategists in those three states say they have seen no signs that Christie is laying the foundation for a run.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie “is expected to say any day now whether he will reverse his long-held decision to stay out of the 2012 Republican presidential campaign,” the AP reports. Indeed, uncommitted donors were told to wait until Wednesday before endorsing anyone else, to await Christie’s decision.
My gut tells me that Christie just might get in if he thought it was going to be a cake walk to the nomination, like his mere presence would clear the field for him. If it is going to be a struggle to get the nomination, he will stay out of it. Well, a new Washington Post/ABC News shows Christie running in fourth place if he were in the race. Romney leads with 21%, followed by Rick Perry and Herman Cain at 14% and then Christie at 10%.
10%????
The Republican Savior only gets 10%?????
Chris Christie is a media and GOP Establishment creation only.
