The Garden State’s GOP star weighs in on 2012 (via John Fund):

New Jersey’s Gov. Chris Christie is scheduled to make a number of campaign appearances in the Midwest and beyond in coming weeks, including a stop on behalf of gubernatorial candidate Terry Branstad in Iowa — always a tripwire for presidential buzz.
Mr. Christie, for his part, put down those rumors colorfully, telling Don Imus, “Come on, look at me. Me for President? Come on, seriously. No way. No way. I mean, I know I’ve heard all these weasel words that other people use: ‘Well, I have no plans right now’ . . . No. Ain’t happening. Not doing it.”
