After wrestling with the decision on whether or not to run for the presidency, republican New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has finally chosen to stay out of the election this year, simply stating that "Now is not my time". This decision was a rather large, yet not unexpected blow to some Republicans who were hopping to equip themselves with a strong opponent who could stand a good chance against Obama. They thought that because of Christie's tough, blunt personality, he might be that representative. However, it looks like the GOP candidate race will remain a toss up between Perry and Romney, as their rivalry continues to flourish.
