The fat boy is out

Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey has decided not to seek the presidency. Christie is scheduled to announce his decision at a news conference in the state capital, but two sources said that the governor will not pursue the Republican nomination.
The decision ends a late flurry of indecision on the part of Christie, who had been encouraged by a growing number of Republican donors and activists who had hoped he would add his name to the field of candidates vying to challenge President Obama.
