Christie Won't Run, And That Means...

Chris Christie won't run for President. That leaves only one possible late entrant into the GOP presidential field: Sarah Palin.

I guest-hosted on WHO Radio Monday when guest Shane Vander Hart told us why it's not too late for Palin. Here's his excellent post on the topic.

Also on WHO, you heard Iowa GOP Chair Matt Strawn tell me that the Iowa caucuses would be moved to a date within "the shadow of the New Year,"--the first week of January.

The accelerated calendar means a big boost for a candidate that finishes in the top three in Iowa--and makes it very, very hard for a low finisher to recover.
