Christie might join presidential race after all TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is reconsidering his decision to stay out of the race for the White House in 2012 and is expected to make a decision soon, according to several people close to the governor. Christie has long said he won’t run in 2012. But those close to the first-term governor, who spoke on condition of anonymity, say he is rethink-
ing his hard stance. A decision will have to c o m e f a st . Filing deadlines in primary states are weeks Gov. Chris away. Christie Calls have been intensifying from top GOP donors and party elders
for Christie to jump into the race. President Barack Obama’s weak approval ratings and a Republican field that has been struggling to put forward a clear front-runner are also creating an opening for Christie. Christie may think twice about moving forward, however. GOP latecomers have jumped in to see a big initial splash, only to tread water.
Michele Bachmann leapfrogged ahead of Mitt Romney only to be pushed back when Texas Gov. Rick Perry joined the field in August after months of insisting he had no interest. But after two shaky performances at debates, Perry now, too, seems vulnerable to getting picked off. Unlike Perry, Christie is most at home behind a podium and seems to relish debate — most
often with the press corps. New Jersey’s governor has been asked about his presidential aspirations practically since taking the oath of office in January 2010. But until this week, he has swatted down the idea repeatedly. He said he wouldn’t run because he wasn’t ready, because his wife wouldn’t let him and because “I’m not crazy, that’s why.”
