Republican Party

Yeah, But He's Not Going to Run

More speculation that Chris Christie is going to run for president:

WASHINGTON -- The speculation simply won't die. On Sunday, former George W. Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson said that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was "actively" weighing the option of jumping into the Republican presidential race amid voter discontent with the current field.

"I don't think Republicans regard this as a strong field," Gerson said, during an appearance on ABC's "This Week." "So there is still talk of people getting in the race. Not just [Sarah] Palin but last week, Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey was in Chicago and had two meetings with serious Republican groups from the Midwest."

He's not up to the task physically. The headline "Christie Rushed to Hospital with Chest Pains" would be a common occurrence. It requires considerable physical endurance to run a presidential campaign and he won't be able to hack it. He must know this.
