Christie News Conference at 1 PM Eastern. Will he run?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

[TheCowsCameHome]

1. I think so.

It will be intersting if he does.

[RebelOne]

2. He must be going to run.

Why else would he hold a press conference?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. that's what I was thinking...but, I heard some NJ politicians say the

whole thing is distracting (lot's of problems to focus on in NJ) and maybe it's to say "stop bothering me" ?

[xoom]

29. I agree!

[rurallib]

3. won't even jog, barely even walk.

[Bake]

32. +10000!

Good call!

Bake

[Evergreen Emerald]

4. I vote no based on where the press conference is taking place

NJ. If he was running he would be at one of the more crucial primary states.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. Good Point !!! Brainiac. n/t

[Cosmocat]

10. Yeah ...

And, short notice ...

Reeks of a "for the love of god, I am not running" type thing ...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. And..he hasn't had enough time to write a great speech and get a huge crowd together

to cheer....I am starting to think he might say, I will announce my decision on X date

[MindPilot]

7. That fat fuck ain't running anywhere...

This will be the first presidential waddle.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. maybe we should start calling him "TAFT2" nt

[WI_DEM]

9. I think he's a realist enough to know he can't mount a serious challenge

just barely three months before the first votes. And that he isn't a tea party favorite. I think he wants one of these guys to take the fall in 2012 and then he will run in 2016.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. how old is he?

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. 49

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. wow, he's a young whippersnapper. But, if a repuke wins, heaven

forbid, he might have to wait 8 years. AHHHHHHH !

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. It must be a major statement....

...if he's giving it during lunch hour.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. you mean because he'd be skipping a meal?

[TheCowsCameHome]

23. More like have to reschedule one.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

26. Skip the meal between second breakfast and afternoon snack?

I have to admire his willingness to sacrifice.

:hi:

[TheCowsCameHome]

35. I love when someone leads by example.

:rofl:

[RKP5637]

18. LOL

:applause: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[valerief]

17. Who gives a fat fuck? They're all Republic assholes. nt

[rpannier]

19. I think he should

Announce that he is forming an exploratory committee, to decide on the feasibility of forming an exploratory committee with the goal of forming an exploratory committee to see if he should run

[brooklynite]

20. 1 PM? I'll be watching the Apple iPhone announcement...

Let me know if anything interesting happens.

[nevergiveup]

21. Nope, it is all theater.

[seabeyond]

22. he would be a fool to run. too much to go after him for. the teabaggers wont like. nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

24. Christie's earth-shattering step

Christie slowly climbs polls
GOP cuts the fat as Christie bows out
The 400-pound gorilla
Christie tips the scales
Christie's weighty proposal

[liberal N proud]

25. He is already running

This will just make it official.

[Imajika]

27. Nope...

He's not running. He will probably thank those who have encouraged him and pledge to help the GOP win the White House, but he won't run. Just my opinion of course.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

28. I'd guess "no". He's not that dumb.

He's too much of a leftist for the rabid republican base. The teabaggers would throw him off the bus.

[Lucian]

30. If he does, he'll be another Tea Party loser in a few weeks.

Bachmann was their savior. Then she sucked. Perry was then their new savior. Then he sucked more. Christie will be their new savior and blow it in a few weeks.

[Bake]

31. Not "no" but "hell, no."

He won't run. I think he knows about some skeletons in his closet that we don't yet know about.

Bake

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. YOU WIN.....MSNBC SAYS HE'S NOT RUNNING. NT

[Bake]

39. Told ya so!

:rofl:

Bake

[HopeHoops]

33. Run? He can barely waddle!

[catbyte]

34. I know it's not PC but he's too fat to run.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

37. ALL YOU NO PEOPLE WIN !!! NT

[RZM]

38. Absolutely not

Even if he did run, I suspect he wouldn't be aiming for the top spot, but for the nod as running mate.
