WASHINGTON – So it looks like Gov. Chris Christie’s straight talking record remains intact.
Christie announced earlier today he would have a press conference at 1:00 p.m. est. Then the leaks began.
“He is not running,” said a fundraiser informed of the decision. “Mary Pat and the gov just called tier one [donor] group to say he was out.”
Josh Marshall nails this one with the headline: Carnage in the Murdoch Primary. Classic.
Now Mr. Christie has to worry whether he can keep today’s hopes alive for tomorrow.
