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.

That’s a sexist comment!
How right you are Astronaut. If you aren’t “pure” here on FreeRepublic, then you are outcast. Reagan would be thrown to the wolves.
Ironic as hell.
Amen to that!
I’d take Christie in a heartbeat. He’s not 100% conservative, but he’s whacked enough unions to make me like him. Perry is an idiot and proved that in spades last night. Romney is polished but the Mormon thing is going to kill him with some voters.
Only if my meals are included. ;>)
You could be right. Even putting issues aside, will somebody from New Jersey have a snowballs chance of getting the vote from the south? From the midwest?
Never too late for the gov from Alaska. She can declare at the republican convention and still have a good chance to get the nomination. However in practical terms, it is too late after Iowa, NH & SC primaries are history.
Way too fat.
...the lib rats would back a presidential run for Christie here in Jersey to get rid of him. He has them all wee wee’d up.
It would also be bumpersticker heaven: "No More Lightweights or Vote Christie - He's One of Us or Christie 2012 (down from 2025 in just 2 weeks.)
with his position on guns he is dead in the water. he talks a good BS line but he is anti 2nd
I never knew that the RINO was a pack animal.
Don’t bother, Christie. You’re good a slashing spending, but all of your other postions are liberal with a capital L. You’ll never have my vote.
No no no! You don't understand how it works! You see, he is a Krispy Cream-munching, loud-mouthed, obnoxious, fat slob of a New Jersey RINO, whereas Sarah is a slender, ultra-fit, happy, accomplished leader with guts and determination. You see the difference don't you?
Conservative for the Northeast. Have a good day.
Conservative for the Northeast. Have a good day.
That's just one cheek!
I think you are probably right.
If Rick Perry were a Congressman his ACU rating would likely be around a 95. We have people on here acting like he is Obama's clone though.
Some of the most uninformed have even made the claim he is to the left of Obama.
I have no doubt Christie will be slimed too. I guess some are just dying for a Mitt Romney candidacy since he is the primary beneficiary of all the conservative bickering and slandering that has been going on over the past several weeks.
What can you do? They are convinced they are somehow advancing the conservative cause and seem oblivious to the fact that they are making it more and more likely a moderate or a liberal will be our next POTUS.
