Obama digging up dirt on potential opponent Chris Christie By JOSH MARGOLIN Last Updated: 5:40 AM, May 23, 2011 Posted: 2:05 AM, May 23, 2011
President Obama's re-election campaign is trying to dig up dirt in the Garden State.
Despite New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's repeated pronouncements that he will not seek the GOP presidential nomination, Obama operatives are compiling a dossier of what they call "opposition research" -- material that could be used to damage Christie if he changes his mind, The Post has learned.
The Obama campaign is trying to keep its efforts from public view, concerned they would only elevate Christie's already impressive standing within the Republican Party, sources said.
The operatives have chosen not to dispatch their own people to New Jersey, but instead are talking to people there and in New York who know Christie from his time in the governor's office, as a gubernatorial candidate and as US attorney.
Obama's campaign manager, Jim Messina, did not respond to messages.
Christie has repeatedly -- and colorfully --said he is not running for president in 2012.
"Short of suicide, I don't really know what I'd have to do to convince you people that I'm not running. I'm not running," he's insisted.
You, me and probably half of the american people!!!

What else can they do-run on Obama's horrid record? Hopefully, this means Gov Chris Christie is moving towards an announcement. Does he know where his birth certificate is? Elmer Fudd looks good next to Obama.

He was just on cable news and said he will NOT run for pres or vice pres.

Christie has done a good job in New Jersey .. but if he says he is not running .. then the GOP has to look for someone else.
Mitch Daniels would have been a great candidate, too.
