New Jersey governor Chris Christie‘s name has been tossed around in 2012 presidential speculation since his victory a year ago, in no part due to any effort on Christie’s part to spread the word. In fact, Christie has vehemently denied any desire to run for president several times, and did so again this week. Frustrated with the continued speculation, he posits that, “short of suicide,” there is nothing he can do to stop it.

Christie, who has made a name for himself talking tough to reporters and being, has been the subject of much speculation lately and is the preferred fantasy choice in 2012 for several conservative pundits like Ann Coulter and Tucker Carlson. Yet Christie adamantly refuses to run, and is becoming frustrated at the fact that there seems no way to deter the speculation. At this point, he told the press, there’s only one way he can prove he won’t run, and he doesn’t seem interested in doing that anytime soon:

“I’ve said I don’t want to, I’m not going to, there’s zero chance I will, I don’t feel like I’m ready to be president, I don’t want to run for president, I don’t have the fire in the belly to run for president, but yet everybody still thinks ‘he’s left the door open a little bit.’ Short of suicide, I don’t know what I have to do to convince you people that I’m not running. I’m not running.”

So there you have it. Christie is not running for president, and he’s really hoping this Kafkaesque presidential nightmare will end before the media drives him to suicide.

Christie, I will let you off the hook if you can promise me a Christie/Ryan ticket in the future. Then Paul Ryan will be pres. and Rubio his vice, paving the way for President Marco Rubio!!!!!

Great, Christie is out and Hillary is out.

I admire their honesty instead of milking it for fame and fortune like one Sarah Palin.

Christie says he doesn’t have the “fire in his belly”.

I’m pretty sure that is the only thing that’s NOT in his belly.

I like Christie, but I am not sure the American voters are ready for someone who talks so honestly and doesn’t spin things to make them sound prettier than they are. He would make a great President. However, he might not make a very successful candidate. But I would love to be proven wrong.

I had to seem cruel and superficial, but America is not going to elect someone who looks like this.

You do have to admit, however, Christie is just gross. Much better on radio than television.

Christie much prefers his slower method of suicide…one krispy kreme at a time.

I really hope he means it when he says he won’t run. I’m from NJ and I can’t see what Republicans outside the state like about this guy. He’s not a true conservative. He campaigned on lowering NJ’s crushing property taxes but to date has turned out to be just another b.s. politician. Now if Steve Lonegan, whom Christie defeated in the primary, were to run for president, he would have my full support.

Most people can’t handle the unadulterated raw truth. With a debt of $14 TRILLION, some severe austerity is likely to be the ONLY way out of the red. If that austerity does come, you can bet the entitlement crowd will be rioting in the streets.

The upside is, everybody in the ‘hood will get a new widescreen. The downside is, the cops won’t do anything about it.

Aw, c’mon. General Sherman said it so that even today’s press could not find a loophole: “I hereby state, and mean all that I say, that I never have been and never will be a candidate for President; that if nominated by either party, I should peremptorily decline; and even if unanimously elected I should decline to serve.”[
