Hong)Christie has called a 1 p.m. press conference in Trenton to announce the decision. His advisers acknowledged in recent days that he was taking a second look at the race after repeatedly denying interest in a bid.
But, Christie was also quite open about his doubts about his readiness for the race and the challenges inherent in starting so late in the presidential process.
Good call by Christie.
