Am I The Only Conservative Glad Gov. Christie Is Sitting Out 2012?

Well, I believe that I am in good company as Mark Levin is not a big fan of the New Jersey governor, Chris Christie. I think he and I are two of the few conservatives glad Gov. Christie is sitting out the GOP 2012 presidential race.
Now I want to be clear.
I like a lot about Gov. Christie. He is a tough guy that is very focused and as conservative as one can be in New Jersey.
And there is the problem.
You see, New Jersey Republicans are not a real conservative group. After all, they were trying to push another Christie on the American people at one time. That Christie was the former governor, Christie Todd Whitman. Now, unlike Gov. Christie, she was much more to the left of the Republican center.
What is really bothersome about all the attempts to get Gov. Christie in the race in the first place. As he pointed out, that he wanted to finish what he started as governor.
The fact is that Gov. Christie would be not much more of an accomplished product than the current occupant of the White House, the Dear Leader, President Obama.
And why is there this attempt to get a front runner now? Who cares? Why are the money people so damn nervous nellies?
Those are for another post.
But while Gov. Christie's announcement disappoints many, I am troubled by his lukewarm attitude over what is driving the conservative movement today.
For instance, why is he not one of those leading the legal challenge to Obamacare?
Why would he nominate someone as Sohail Mohammed to a judgeship? And why would he be so defensive as to utter profanities when asked if it was an appropriate appointment? Why is Gov. Christie not more in front on opposing the policies of the Dear Leader, President Obama?
These are legitimate questions that we need to ask and expect to have answers. And that may be why Gov. Christie, wisely, chose not to run this time around.
I think that he has time to evolve into a solid conservative. On a lot of state policies, he has proven himself solid. But he does need to be more aggressive in social, national and international policy.
And he may have a chance in 2016 or even 2020.
Who knows?
But Gov. Christie said it best:

"Now is not my time."

That says a lot about him to me more than if he got in at this late date.
This conservative is glad Gov. Christie is waiting for the right time.
