Chris Christie: Not Running

Chris Christie, the Republican dream candidate for many, has again insisted that he is not running for President in 2012. This time the statement came to a group of Iowa donors that pushed for the New Jersey Governor to jump in the race.

It follows other denials, including at a press conference. This again cements the existing Republican field, barring any major entries.

"Those reasons are the commitment he made to New Jersey, the fact of how large a decision like this is in terms of his readiness and how hard it is to be running for president when you are governing a state and you have young children," said Christie's chief political adviser Mike DuHaime.

"I did not hear anything from Gov. Christie that I have not heard before," added Christie's longtime friend, Bill Palatucci.

I guess all eyes will be on Sarah Palin next.
