Christie will address run for president today

Published October 4, 2011 4:00am ET



At 1:00 p.m. today, New Jersey governor Chris Christie will announce his decison regarding a run for president. We’re on the record saying that he will not run, and New Jersey sources are already confirming it.

The Wall Street Journal reported this morning that Christie promised Meg Whitman that he wouldn’t run, as a condition of her hosting a high-priced fund-raiser for him.

The New York Post reports that Christie shut down communications with his advisers — even his inner circle — telling them he had already gathered all the information he needs to make his decision.
