Absolutely, FOR REAL - He's NOT Running!

New Jersey Governor Chis Christie has stated over and over again that he would not run for the Republican Presidential nomination.  That didn't stop most media outlets and talking heads to salivate over the possibility of a Christie candidacy.  Also, the Republicans have been looking for alternatives to the Romney/Perry choice currently presenting itself.  Major Republican donors had been sitting on the sidelines, waiting for Christie to change his mind and enter the race.  After yesterday's press conference (which occurred at the same time as Apple's iPhone 4S announcement - Christie and Apple CEO Tim Cook shared a split screen on several news networks) people finally have accepted the fact that Gov. Christie isn't going to run.


CNN's Peter Hamby has written a nice little blurb about the current race for the Republican nomination now that Christie is a definite 'no.'
