Governor Chris Christie will not run for president in 2012.
The AP reported:
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie warned Tuesday that America’s promise is being menaced from within, as a troubled U.S. economy, shaky leadership and political gridlock diminish the nation’s ability to solve its problems.
“At one time in our history, our greatness was a reflection of our country’s innovation, our determination, our ingenuity,” the Republican governor said in remarks prepared for a speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
“When there was a crisis at home, we put aside parochialism and put the greater public interest first. And in our system, we did it through strong presidential leadership,” he said.
“Unfortunately, through our own domestic political conduct of late, we have failed to live up to our own tradition of exceptionalism. Today, our role and ability to affect change has been diminished because of our own problems and our inability to effectively deal with them,” Christie added.
Christie has said he’s not running for president next year.

Good. He called anti-jihadist activists “crazies”. We can’t trust someone like him with national security.

And the genius media minds at the AP don’t know grammar, incorrectly printing “affect change” when it should be “effect change”. Put a (sic) in that quote, Jim!

Relevant info: Ann Coulter is disappointed. Chris Christie is her dream candidate.
Molon Labe commented:
They couldn’t see us Pawlenty, Romney, Perry now the legacy GOP is trying to foist off Super RINO Christie as a conservative.
Not now, not ever.

He actually was treated rather shabbily by the party elites even back in 1976 and 1980, since he was a candidate that stood in opposition to what the party elites and monied interests wanted. All the things we have gotten form Obama writ large; cronyism and spendonmics up the wazoo with a vastly bloated inefficient government.
FurryGuy commented:
Christie would have been an ideal candidate for Dems to run against and ultimately pillory and defeat.
He may be more conservative than the general run-of-the-mill pig trough feeders that infest liberal bastions such as NJ. But a true conservative? HA!

I agree – now he’ll still be some conservative rock star.
I read the NJ blog and found out I don’t agree with any of his positions! http://conservativenewjersey.com/the-myth-of-christie-conservatism-intro
Then pajamasmedia had a few of the Muslim issues.
