Republican candidate slate on a diet

 “ Chris Christie is not running for president, his brother says. “I'm sure that he's not going to run,” Todd Christie told the Newark Star Ledger. "If he's lying to me, I'll be as stunned as I've ever been in my life.” Other people close to the New Jersey governor told the paper they were surprised that former governor Tom Kean had hinted at a Christie bid, saying the talk was false. As Christie himself once said, it seems nothing short of suicide will stop the rumors.”
