Sources: Christie Definitely a 'No' for 2012
Fox News ^ | February 27, 2012 | Fox News

Chris Christie say he has finally made a definitive decision, once and for all, not to run for president in 2012, sources close to the New Jersey governor told Fox News on Tuesday.

Despite the intensity that has heightened in recent days as the New Jersey governor prepares to deliver a speech Tuesday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, several people close to the governor insist he has not changed his mind to forego a presidential bid.

Christie is on tour, attending seven fundraisers in three states, which has fueled speculation that he could be preparing for a 2012 bid. And some people near the governor have been trying very hard -- however futilely, it would appear -- to convince him to get in the race, especially after last week's debate GOP showed the field is still open.

NO...he’d die of a heart attack with all that fat. Swimming might be safer for the two-legged whale.

SARAH PALIN 2012 OR BUST. Cain has a decent shot at being her VP

Damn. Would have been nice to see him split the moderate votes with Mitt Perry and have Cain be the only alternative.

Cain is a very nice man. I bet if we took a look at the Cain converts of recent days and tracked them to the candidate they supported before him and the candidate they had before the one before???

I think it might just be laughable. I know everybody is going to say...I had no candidate before Cain, right and if everybody that said they attended Woodstock actually was there???

Cain has a decent shot at being Gov Palin`s running mate, a shot that is, perhaps West, perhaps others.

Rudy’s phone is probably ringing now.

There is a lot of East Coast GOP $$$$ on the sidelines waiting for the right RINO. They don’t think Mitt is electable, and Perry is too Texan for them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a “Draft Jeb Bush” movement in the works.

Merits a facepalm, because you are SO right...sigh

I started out supporting Cain, then Bachmann. She proved....unstable. I switched to Perry until he studdered and stammered through three debates in the last one called me and 81% of the electorate “heartless.”

I am back to Cain and have decided to stay behind him the rest of the way. If Sarah stays out of the race, I have seen dozens of her supporters state that they will support Cain as a fallback.

If Sarah stays on the sidelines, what are your plans? Sit it out or support another candidate? If the latter, whom would you support?

In all seriousness, I learned the hard way to never get emotionally attached to any candidate. The goal in the primaries is to try to nominate the most qualified conservative candidate possible. We are yet a long ways from knowing who that will be. As you noted, it can change rapidly. There’s plenty of time to decide who you will ultimately support. JM2C

But Ted Baxter and Dick Morris will continue to pine over Christie night after night. They won't take no for an answer. Christie is as good as we can get for NJ and part of me likes the guy, but he's a RINO of the first order. Ok now onto Guiliani, Trump(again) and if the MSM and Fox get real desperate push some other milquetoast retreads like Daniels. Ann Coulter..she really took a pie in the face on this one when she took some dumb stands with this guy and bashing Palin.

It really baffles me that they believe that any northeastern “Dewey” Republican can win in the south and west (excluding the lost state of CA).

Christie has a lot of baggage that he knows will come out if he runs. He scared.

Thank God! New Jersey is a left-wing swamp and for them Christie is a Godsend since he will put them back on their financial feet again. I love the way he handles the leftie dopes who try to embarass him for his rational decisions.

OTOH the country needs somebody who doesn't support the Victory Mosque at Ground Zero for one example of his irrational decisions IMO.
