The Chris Christie Reconsidering 2012 Run, Will Decide in Days

The Chris Christie Reconsidering 2012 Run, Will Decide in Days: The governor of New Jersey Chris Christie decides not to enter the 2012 presidential race and says he will leave the major donors Republicans know within days if his plans Newsmax has learned. In recent weeks, several major donors, and Republican fundraisers have been invited to the popular Republican governor to reconsider his decision not to run and enter the first GOP. These advocates note that Christie was significant support GOP away from the main battle. Many fundraisers have not yet led to commit to any pretender to the primary current, including warning, Rick Perry and Mitt Romney. Newsmax has learned that the effort to draft Christie culminated in a hush-hush powwow held in the past week with Christie and several notable Republican billionaires. A source familiar with the meeting suggested that Christie seemed inclined to enter the race but said he needed more time. Christie promised to make a final decision "within two weeks," the source said. Another source involved in GOP fundraising tells Newsmax that that uncommitted fundraisers and donors have been receiving phone calls from top political aides to Christie, seeking their feedback about his possible entry into the race. Earlier this week Christie hinted at the effort to draft him when he spoke at a special forum that included Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels. Christie suggested to an audience at New Jersey's Rider University that the current GOP candidates are not answering the public's appetite for real leadership. "I think what the country is thirsting for, more than anything else right now, is someone of stature and credibility to tell them that and say, 'Here's where I want us to go to deal with this crisis,'" Christie said. Christie continued: "The fact that nobody yet who's running for president, in my view, has done that effectively is why you continue to hear people ask Daniels if he'll reconsider and ask me if I'll reconsider." Christie has consistently and categorically stated that he would not run for president in 2012, noting he had significant work still to accomplish in New Jersey. But New Jersey and New York Republican donors and bundlers who have backed Christie also have been courted in the past several months by Texas Gov. Perry's campaign. Christie older employees have been quietly urging his supporters not to commit Perry, who show, Christie was still mulling the offer and would make a final decision after New Jersey legislative races will be completed in November. But in a rapidly changing landscape may be changing the primary program. Perry's rapid rise in the polls, and the indication may be waning, with annoying questions on the ability of Romney to lead the party backup copies of the Massachusetts health law program Obamacare eerily similar to Barack Obama may have created the opportunity to Christie.The Chris Christie Reconsidering 2012 Run, Will Decide in Days:
