OCTOBER 3, 2011 Christie Decision Down to the Wire

BY NEIL KING JR. AND LISA FLEISHER

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is expected to announce within days whether to join the presidential race, amid concerns within his inner circle over the increasingly tight political calendar and the formidable challenges of launching an 11th-hour campaign.

The governor spent much of the weekend deliberating the logistics of a late bid, in discussions with his aides but also his wife and family, said people who have talked to Mr. Christie's inner circle.

Is Christie still weighing his options? I know this is a huge decision for him, but he has a slim window of opportunity to get into the race.

I like the guy, but I hope he doesn’t run. He has more to do as Governor.

I’d say he has a fat chance of gaining any momentum at this point.

It's too late for Palin but NOT too late for Christy, haven't you kept up on the MSM talking points? /s

Fat chance.

This report is larded with lies.

Christie’s supporters will be blubbering when he doesn’t run.

On the plus size... er... side, he does have gravitas.

There are three possible eventualities not two. He will enter the race, he will not enter the race, or he will drop dead. Sorry, it's true.

Stay home fat boy. You are no Ronaldus Magnus.

Perry, Mittens, and Newt are enough RINOs who have been soundly rejected.

I think Christie should run!......or at least start walking briskly.

Not my line, but I do think it’s damn funny.
