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.

I wouldn't vote for ANYONE running for the presidency from the original thirteen colonies, the Cradle of Democracy...er, oops, um....the Rocking Chair of Liberalism, Socialism and Snobbism....and the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party.

What is it with Coulter?

I still like Perry, though I am greatly disappointed in his debate performances to date.

I am still hoping he can recover.

I also like Palin, though I’m not sure she can win, and I’m not sure she thinks she can win. But I will probably support her if she gets in.

I really looked at Perry as the answer to our problems but he has done very poorly out of the gate.

We’ll see.

“He’s for the mosque at Ground Zero and for gun control and the list goes on! He put a muslim judge in NJ court system because he’s his friend and known him for many years.”

Amen to all of that. Perry’s problem is that he’s pro-amnesty. Christie’s problem is that he’s pro-Muslim. That is UNACCEPTABLE in today’s political environment. Plus he’s enormously fat. He needs to let go of this idea of a candidacy. If he pursues it, then he needs to choose an excellent VP, since someone in his condition is a ticking time bomb.
