New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he was in Iowa Thursday simply to drum up money at private fundraisers for Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and other Republicans competing in 2014 races.

But passion for Christie was obvious at a meet-and-greet open to the general public at M.J.'s Restaurant in Marion, where Iowans said his force-of-nature personality would be the perfect fit for the Oval Office.

Christie told reporters that he's flattered by the attention he's gotten on this Iowa visit, but his mind isn't made up about whether he'll jump into the 2016 race.

"Listen, the decision to seek the presidency or not is such a deeply personal one, that while it's wonderful to get as much encouragement as I got inside here and in other places in Iowa today, to consider running I've said the same thing to everybody: I'll decide at some point whether I'm going to or not, but that's a really personal decision," he said.
