After reconsidering a run for president, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie stuck with his original answer…

Heck no!

The Republican governor had originally said some time ago he wouldn’t seek the White House.  But, pressure from voters and donors unimpressed by the current Republican field caused him to give it one last look.

A media frenzy surrounded Christie’s possible entrance into the race, which would have offered an alternative to front-runners Mitt Romney and Rick Perry.

During a press conference, he cited his current role as governor as the driving reason behind his decision.

It did not feel right to me, in my gut, to leave now when the job here was not finished.”
