Iowa backers discuss presidential run with Chris Christie

PRINCETON, New Jersey (Reuters) - As Republicans scramble to find a strong candidate for the 2012 U.S. presidential contest, a group of Iowa Republicans met with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on Tuesday to urge him to enter the race, despite his stated disinterest.

Half a dozen businessmen from Iowa, which holds the vital first nominating contest in the U.S. presidential race in February, met with Christie for about 2 1/2 hours over dinner at the governor's mansion to discuss entering the contest.

Iowa entrepreneur Bruce Rastetter, who participated in the dinner, told the Des Moines Register that Christie had again said he would not run for president but that he had accepted an invitation to speak at an event in Iowa in July.

"He understands the country's problems but feels very strongly that he has that commitment to New Jersey to continue to serve," Rastetter said.

Not really.  Numerous people are running.  He is just another pol.

As Paul Harvey would say,  "And now the rest of the story"

Christie then shot himself in the foot by abusing the state helicopter to run from his personal meeting to his kids baseball game.

Please explain how this fits into those "fiscal conservatives", budget cutting", "eliminating waste" talking points.

So answer me this.  If he's not interested, why spend 2-1/2 hours with six people just to say no?  Is it simply manners towards big donors, or is he really planning to run?

Iowa thinks yet another 2-years-and-get-out governor is the solution? Funny if not poetic.

Christie wont run for POTUS, and would probably be redundant on most GOP tickets as VPOTUS.

Oh dear. The GOP's in even worse shape than I thought if Christie's the best nominee they can find.
