CNN Panel: Christie’s 2016 Answer Is Great if You Ignore that He’s Clearly Running

CNN Panel: Christie’s 2016 Answer Great If You Ignore He’s Clearly Running (Mediaite)

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie gave a sharp answer to John Harwood’s question yesterday on CNBC as to whether he was running for president:

“The fact is, you should beware of people, in my opinion, who are overanxious to make that decision before they need to. That would indicate to me ambition before wisdom. And I don’t think that’s what you want from the person sitting in the Oval Office.”

Good stuff. One problem, as CNN’s Inside Politics panel pointed out Thursday morning: nothing says “Hey everybody I’m running for president” like “embarking on a multi-city tour of Iowa,” which Christie does today.
