Serious Presidential campaigns cost tens of millions of dollars. In spite of the Clinton Machine and $11 million of her own money, Hillary's campaign was $9 million in debt by April of 2008.
No serious money = No serious campaign = A phony campaign.
Christie has done the serious preparations needed to at least try to win:
" .... and he says he will let top Republican donors know within days about his plans, ...."
Certain others have not even bothered.
Some candidate run to try to win.
Other candidates tease at running or play at running in order to get face time in front of TV cameras. (Donald Trump, Newt Gingrich, certain others)
