Christie Says He’s Not Running: ‘Now Is Not My Time’

UPDATE:
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Tuesday announced he would not run for president, refusing to bow to pressure from GOP donors, fans and luminaries clamoring for another option in the search for a strong Republican to challenge President Barack Obama next fall.
“Now is not my time,” Christie told reporters at the New Jersey Statehouse.
His decision means that three months before voting is set to begin, the Republican race remains focused on two men – former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
The famously blunt, budget-cutting governor in office not even two years had spent the past few days reconsidering his long-time refusals to run for the GOP presidential nomination in light of encouragement from GOP leaders.
“I felt the obligation to earnestly consider their advice,” Christie said. “Over the last few weeks, I’ve thought long and hard about this decision.”
Ultimately, he decided against it.
“I believe in my heart this is where I belong,” Christie said.
Close advisers to Christie told friends that they ultimately didn’t think a run made sense in part because it would likely have been too late to set up the needed infrastructure in Iowa, according to a person who spoke directly to those advisers.
The governor’s advisers said Christie was seriously looking at a run in 2016 and he refused to rule out the prospect of a future run. But as Obama’s approval rating has fallen and Republicans have become increasingly convinced he is vulnerable in 2012, Christie became worried he would regret staying out if another Republican won the nomination and ultimately the presidency.
“This is an example of someone who has failed the leadership test,” Christie said of Obama. “You can’t be taught how to lead and make decisions.”
Christie‘s announcement comes as a new national poll shows Perry’s support dropping after weeks of defending his Texas record and businessman Herman Cain rising following a much-praised debate performance. The Washington Post-ABC survey shows former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney regaining the lead, though his support remains in the same place it’s been for months – the mid-20s.
The push for new candidates like Christie and the quick rise and fall of others – like Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and real estate mogul Donald Trump, who also flirted with a presidential bid – reflect continued discomfort in the GOP with Romney. He has been steadily campaigning since he lost in the 2008 primary but hasn’t been able to sway skeptical conservatives who make up the party base.
Christie stoked the speculation with a high-profile speech last week at the Ronald Reagan presidential library in Simi Valley, Calif., where he reiterated that he wasn’t running for president, and a tour to help raising money for Republicans in Missouri, California and Louisiana.
Encouragement from Henry Kissinger, Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush led him to reconsider a bid, and he spent the weekend thinking over his options.
But after months of waiting, Christie was far behind his rivals in fundraising and particularly in organizing on the ground in key early states like Iowa and New Hampshire. Florida’s decision to move its primary to the end of January cut another month off of the time he would have to catch up. And Perry’s experience offered a cautionary tale. He announced in August and immediately shot to the top of the polls, but has seen his support fade after a few shaky debate performances and repeated attacks from Romney’s campaign.
But while Tuesday’s announcement ended the will-he-or-won’t-he drama for now, his endorsement this year will still hold sway; he declined to back any of the declared candidates on Tuesday.
If Obama wins re-election, he’ll likely be at the top of the list of presidential hopefuls in 2016. And Christie’s timing has been right in the past.
In 2005, many Republicans were begging him to run for governor. He didn’t.
But in 2009, he was seen as probably the only Republican in the state capable of unseating Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine. He ran and won. He‘s since become a hero to fiscally conservative and tea party Republicans because of the policies he’s fought for as governor.
He has imposed a 2 percent cap on annual growth of New Jersey’s highest-in-the-nation property taxes and refused to give into Democrats’ calls to restore a lapsed income tax surcharge on high-income residents. He‘s clashed with public workers’ unions as he has reined in their pension and health insurance benefits and taken away collective bargaining rights on some issues. He also overhauled pensions and benefits for state workers – and convinced Democrats to go along with him.
He has also fought publicly with Washington: He canceled a plan to build a new rail tunnel to New York City and fought federal efforts to seek reimbursement for the work that was done. In September, he struck a deal for the state to pay state to pay $95 million of the $271 million the federal government said it was owed.
Still, he deviates from conservative orthodoxy.
He opposes abortion rights, but didn’t always. He is against gay marriage and has said he would support an amendment to the state constitution to ban it, but favors civil unions. He says he supports medical marijuana for patients who need it, but he’s delayed implementation of a New Jersey medical marijuana law.

Associated Press writers Tom Beaumont in Des Moines, Iowa, Steve Peoples in Manchester, N.H., and Jim Davenport in Columbia, S.C., contributed to this report.
Original story below.
Are you ready for news you’ve already heard this past year? Chris Christie is reportedly not running for president, according to Politico sources.
The D.C. paper reports that multiple sources have told it that Christie has begun telling insiders about his decision ahead of a 1 p.m. news conference.
“He is not running,” a fundraiser informed of the decision told the paper. “Mary Pat and the gov just called tier one [donor] group to say he was out.”
Still, Politico points out that the sources do leave the door open considering no official word has come from the governor or his staff.
Christie has repeatedly said he will not run for president, but cyclical speculation keeps popping up. In fact, he’s said in the past that short of his death the rumors would continue. And they have.
Such speculation popped up again last week after a rousing speech at the Reagan Library.

Posted on October 4, 2011 at 12:13pmI feel that Herman Cain is a much better candidate than many people realize. Tax reform is critical to turning this country around; he is the only one to really address this. The tax issue is much bigger than just stimulating the economy. The current tax structure is the vehicle through with corporations bribe politicians and politicians pay off corporations. It is also the foundation of the dependency state. I have always said that people who do not pay taxes should have no voice in how taxes are spent. The 9-9-9 plan makes EVERYONE pay taxes. This will automatically make lower income people pay more heed to how they vote, because it would then AFFECT THEM AS WELL. Once tax reform is in place, remove government influence and the ‘indoctrination system’ from public schools and institute universal term limits for politicians. True recovery cannot happen without these three steps, they are the source of the disease that is rotting us from the inside out.

Posted on October 4, 2011 at 12:39pmYeah, it will push them, and some middle class folks, into joining the rest of the useful idiot at 9%. What I heard on Fox News is that he does not intend to tax the lower income folk at that rate…so we need more info on his 999 plan. He needs to explain it.
As for Christie, I hope this on again off again is over with. He should have never played this silly on again off again…same goes with Palin. If you are going to run say so! If not say so.
PS: I too like Cain but he needs to give more details on his 999 plan…urrm maybe he has rolled it out on his net site? I’ll go there. lol

Posted on October 4, 2011 at 2:39pmThis is good news. I’m tired of the on again off again horse hockey.
I want a President that has a record of fidelity to the Constitution, even when it wasn’t “popular.”
I want a President who has the support of the military. (like more support than all of the other “R’s” COMBINED.)
I want a President that has a record of CONSISTENCY, not one who changes his mind whenever the political winds blow.
I want a President who will bring the troops home, and use them to protect OUR border.
I want a President that understands that the Federal Reserve is not only UNCONSTITUTIONAL but is the SOURCE of our economic problems, and will force more transparency, not try to “fix them.”
I want a President that can not only pronounce Keynesian Economics correctly, but also understands the DIFFERENCE between it, and the Austrian Free Market school of economics.
I want a President that PREDICTED the financial Collapse, when the others like Cain, McCain et al said that everything was peachy.
I want a President who is HONEST and stands on PRINCIPLE not party politics.
I want a President that I can TRUST, not one that will sell out to the highest bidder.
I want a President that is a Veteran of the Military.
One who is an economist.
One who is a doctor AND an economist, so they know where to stop the economic bleeding.
There is only ONE choice, when you put them all to this test.

The media, and the establishment GOP doesn’t help either.

The globalists don’t care which side you pick because they are moving the ball in the same direction.
The media is just the lapdog of these special interests. They want to try and APPEAR as “fair and balanced”, but they are ALL just different flavors of the same bias.
When all three flavors of MSM “perception management” channels CIRCLE THE WAGONS against a particular candidate like they have done with Ron Paul, then you KNOW that he is the one who can NOT be bought off , and threatens their little crap game.
Break out of the phony “red team vs blue team” paradigm, and take the 30,000ft. view of the situation.

Beyond that it usually is a matter of following the money, that is where the federal money is being funneled. It is clear to me that Obama is a deer in the headlights. He was way way to naive or underpowered for the Presidency. That’s why Christie would have been a relatively good choice. If for no other reason he stands his ground against the zealots from both parties. He seems like a focused, straight shooter who we can only hope is his own man.
