Christie Moving Closer to Presidential Run

[Conley]

BATON ROUGE — Gov. Chris Christie is seriously rethinking his months of denials and may launch a campaign for the White House after all, a source close to the governor said tonight.

In the last week, Christie has been swayed away from his earlier refusals to run by an aggressive draft effort from a cadre of Republicans and donors unhappy with the GOP field, said the source, who was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.

Christie has a small window of opportunity to make his final decision, and some political experts think he has only days to declare.

I read somewhere that he would be making a final announcement regarding his decision on Monday but I can't find confirmation of that.

I'd rather he didn't because 1) I don't like his views on certain matters and 2) I don't think he's a good candidate. He might be if we were still the original 13 colonies...

Do you like any of the current candidates better? Are you excited about either Romney or Perry?

Ho's, Rakes, Immoral Pleasure Seekers.....Sounds like the defination of US Politicans.

You saw how Guiliani's appeal fell flatter the further west he went. I suspect the same will happen with Christie.

To me Giuliani's campaign like Fred Thompson was just a mystery in that they didn't really try very hard. I do think he could have put in a better showing...wasn't he relaxing in Florida a lot? You are probably right that Christie will have trouble in flyover states but I think he would do OK along the West Coast where Republicans are more moderate. He would not do well in the South. I suppose if he's not going to do well in Iowa or South Carolina then he doesn't have a shot at the nomination. Also he would need to raise a lot of money really quickly.

Yeah, I said Guiliani didn't seem particularly excited about campaigning myself. That's true.
