Christie on 2012: "No way"

On Don Imus' show, Chris Christie denies any interest in a 2012 bid with a not-so-cryptic remark about his weight.

IMUS: You're not gonna run for President, definitely?

CHRISTIE: No, no. Come on. Look at me. Me for President? Come on, seriously. No way. No way.

I mean, I know I've heard all these weasel words that other people use 'Well, I have no plans right now', 'I don't think that would be something I would like to do'.

I'm looking at you: No, ain't happening. Not doing it.

IMUS: Something in your background that would come out you're worried about?

CHRISTIE: [laughter] Oh, listen. You and I could have a [unintelligible] conversation about that. That would be quite a conversation. I don't feel like getting in an airplane in November or December for the next two years of my life.
