Obama’s Re-Election Team May Be Digging Up Dirt on Chris Christie

Chris Christie has repeatedly stated that he won’t be seeking the presidency in 2012, yet the Obama administration is allegedly digging deep to find dirt on the New Jersey governor.
The New York Post claims that “Obama’s operatives” are assembling information that could be used to damage Christie’s image in the event that he does, indeed, challenge the president next year. The Post reports that campaign officials have been attempting to keep this covert operation under wraps:
The operatives have chosen not to dispatch their own people to New Jersey, but instead are talking to people there and in New York who know Christie from his time in the governor’s office, as a gubernatorial candidate and as US attorney.

While some GOP insiders insist that Christie may consider running, he continues to vehemently deny any and all rumors. Recently, he said, “Short of suicide, I don‘t really know what I’d have to do to convince you people that I’m not running. I’m not running.”
FOX News has more:
An Obama 2012 campaign source told Fox News that the campaign is not involved in efforts described in a New York Post story published Monday that says Obama operatives are “compiling a dossier” of material that could be used to damage Christie if he does a 180-degree shift and decides to run for president…
The source with the 2012 Obama campaign did not deny that the New Jersey Democratic Party or others loyal to the president may be doing some digging. That conforms with the Post‘s report that locals familiar with Christie’s work in the governor’s office and as a former U.S. attorney are doing the heavy lifting.
This morning, FOX & Friends tackled this issue (watch below):
Whether or not Christie runs, the Obama campaign clearly views him as formidable enough to begin creating a smear campaign (or, at the least, assembling the information needed to do so). Christie is already a rising star in the GOP. This alleged move by Obama’s operatives may further solidify his elevated stance within Republican circles.

Posted on May 23, 2011 at 6:50pmChristi has one simple trait over almost all other politicians out there; He is fearless, and will say what he believes, and most thinking people think.. He just stands up and dares his opponents to refute him, and they don’t, because they can’t, and he won’t cower down.. He’s not 100% right, but by God he has chutzpa in spades and we don’t see that in conservative politicians these days.. Republicans can’t get anywhere apologizing for being right all the time.. Prog libs will never apologize even when it’s proven their policies are a one way ticket to misery..

Do you know where we can get such a candidate?! There is someone out there, we just need to find them.

Sorry for the long delay in responding; hope you check back here. If not, for the benefit of anyone reading this later, here’s why I say that.
The American electorate looks for certain types of experience in presidential candidates. Among those are experience as governor and experience as president. Although Mr. Christie will have 3 years as governor by the time election day arrives it won’t be enough to defeat Obama.
Now that I’ve written that, I need to correct myself. Like Mrs. Palin, who I mention further down this page, Mr. Christie could defeat Obama if he chooses his running mate wisely.
