Obama Team Snoops on Christie: Report

Despite repeated claims that he won’t seek the GOP nomination for president in 2012, the Obama campaign team has begun to dig up dirt on popular New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie just in case, according to the New York Post. Obama’s team is covertly gathering up material that could damage him should he choose to run, the Post claims. "Short of suicide,” Christie has said, “I don't really know what I'd have to do to convince you people that I'm not running.” Still, party leaders from Henry Kissinger to Speaker John Boehner have encouraged him to run, and, according to the Post, top GOP donors in New York have been whispering that Christie has considered it.
