Christie calla

Newark Star-Ledger:

Gov. Chris Christie, who revived the possibility of running for president this week, was back in the New Jersey Statehouse today after a chaotic week of raising funds for Republicans and the hopes of supporters.

With speculation about a potential candidacy at full tilt, he was hunkered down and pondering whether to reverse course and throw himself into a grueling presidential campaign, said a source close to the governor.

He didn’t make any public appearances, and his aides and advisers were mum on the issue of a White House run.

Even as pundits parsed Christie’s every move, the governor’s spokesman, Michael Drewniak, said it was just a typical day in the office.

"There’s always plenty to do in the state of New Jersey," Drewniak said.

(...) Christie is not booked on any of the major weekend talk shows, and his schedule indicates only one appearance, at a National Guard ceremony on Sunday. He is not expected to take questions from reporters, which he hasn’t done for a week.
