To no one's surprise, Christie says no...

Of course, using the language "[n]ow is not my time" suggests he's already plotting a course forward...  If Obama wins in 2012, does that line render Christie the presumptive 2016 front runner?

EJ Dionne calls it "the right choice."

Do Christie Comments Signal Democratic Fears?

Making the Sunday morning rounds, two sitting Democratic governors both took shots at Chris Christie yesterday.  (See Politico here).  Given that Christie's only mulling a run and that most people don't think he'll race, are the Dems hitting the gas a little hard?  Are they signalling that they are worried about Christie coming in?  They may be smarter simply sticking to the candidates they're actually going to see next year.  Maybe a swipe at Christie just keeps the topic away from the current front-runners and emphasizes the state of flux in the GOP primary right now.

That said, I'd go back to the drawing board on the particular attacks they fire off at Governor Christie next time.  Painting him as inexperienced because he would only have two years of big-time political experience were he elected president may not be the best line for Team Obama, as the President only had two years in the senate prior to his current role.
