Chris Christie to announce 2016 bid as early as next week
Source: Politico
Chris Christie is in the final stages of preparing his 2016 presidential bid, with a formal announcement possible as soon as next week, according to several sources familiar with the discussions.
The governor’s planning has intensified in recent days. On Monday, his campaign-in-waiting announced that he’d hired two additional staffers in New Hampshire, a state seen as critical to his White House hopes. Earlier this month, Maria Comella, a longtime Christie aide, departed the governor’s official office to take a senior position at his political action committee.
A Christie spokeswoman, Samantha Smith, declined to comment. The governor’s aides have previously said that he isn’t likely to launch his presidential campaign until the New Jersey legislature finalizes the state budget — expected to be around the end of June.
The New Jersey governor was once regarded as the Republican Party’s foremost rising star, but has seen his prospects damaged by the lingering fallout surrounding the Bridgegate scandal. A Fairleigh Dickinson University poll released on Tuesday showed Christie with just a 30 percent approval rating in his home state.

Sorry Chris -- I'm afraid the post of "pompous blowhard who speaks bluntly" has already been filled...
...but do leave a copy of your resume. Maybe something will open up.

Imagine that you are applying for a job. While waiting in the reception area to see the interviewer, you decide to look through the drawers of an empty desk. You find a few goodies, so you stuff them in your pockets.
The interviewer has still not come out of the office, and you glance down the hallway and see some empty offices. You dodge in, again rifle through the drawers, and find some pretty useful stuff. Stuff the pockets once again.
Now you have pockets of extra baggage, and you're looking like the Michelin man.
The interviewer comes out and asks you into his office. He remarks that everything you just stuffed in your pockets has been recorded on security cams. He then asks if you still want to interview for the job, and you say, "Yes!"
The interviewer then tells you he checked your references and found out that you ran the last company you worked for into the ground. There' s nothing left in the kitty, the company is in debt, and since it's a public company, the records are there for all to see.
That's essentially what Chris Christie is doing. We all know what a thief he is, but he's so delusional that he thinks he's got a shot at the office.
Cher
great presidential material, in his own mind, anyway 
Man, it must suck to have her job.
