Chris Christie Reconsidering 2012 Run, Will Decide in Days
Newsmax via Drudge ^

Posted on 09/23/2011 2:56:24 PM PDT by Retired Greyhound

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is reconsidering his decision not to enter the 2012 presidential race — and he says he will let top Republican donors know within days about his plans, Newsmax has learned. During the past few weeks, several leading Republican donors and fundraisers have been urging the popular Republican governor to reconsider his decision not to run and to enter the GOP primary. These Christie supporters note that significant GOP support has remained on the sidelines of the primary fight. Many leading fundraisers have yet to commit to any current primary contender, including frontrunners Rick Perry and Mitt Romney. Newsmax has learned that the effort to draft Christie culminated in a hush-hush powwow held in the past week with Christie and several notable Republican billionaires.

Well, Astronaut, if they didn’t attack, they wouldn’t collect their paycheck from Soros. And, yes, a handful of Freepers are posting attack pieces directly from websites and organizations paid for by Soros.

I doubt seriously he does anything before Palin...

But if he wants to enter not knowing what she is going to do well I say bring him on.

If he passes the smell test, he deserves the nomination.

My thought is he fails miserably.....!

But you always have to remember the money in the background and that sometimes money trumps

No I don't - that's a losers mentality. That's been the game of the big dogs controlling candidates w/their money all along. The voters woke up to their controlling tactics. It's now the time of 'WeThePeople' vs. fat cats/good old boys club.

If you want someone to take the fight to Obama and the Dems and speak plainly / with common sense, Christie's the guy. He is a bit left, but I would definitely give him a close look.

Economic issues are at the forefront this cycle, and he could convince a lot of voters that he's the guy capable of making and enforcing the hard decisions that will be necessary.

Good?

Christie is a true gun grabber!

Probably the worst choce of ANY of the candidates.

If a politician is willing to trample on the 2A, they will be willing to trample on others as well.

He’s another one who will crash and burn when exposed to the light.

“Romney. Palin. Perry. Now Christie. If Ronald Reagan himself came back from the dead and announced he was running, there would be people calling him a RINO. I am getting sick of the search for the “perfect” conservative that destroys our candidates while the Muslim Marxist sits back and laughs. There is no perfect conservative. Every candidate is flawed. Instead of attacking each other and giving Hussein Obama fodder for his own ads, they should be attacking the Muslim Marxist non-stop.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This. The “Rino hunters” on this board and elsewhere are living in a dreamland.

He’s at least 330. He’s huge.

At my biggest three years ago, before my gastric bypass surgery, I was about 310 and he's way bigger than I was then. Today I'm a svelte 159. I'm guessing Christie the porcine RINO goes about 370, minimum.

QFT

I think if folks weren’t WFS (waiting for Sarah), they might be more inclined to get behind a candidate. That’s one reason I think her teasing is becoming harmful to the party.

Coulter is an idiot.

Her praise of Chris Christie is only proof of this.

She carries - she’s nothing but a ‘do as I say, not as I do’ mouthpiece.
