Mr. Christie Goes To Iowa

Chris Christie went to Iowa. He gave a speech about education reform. And then the discussion got right back into what everyone who makes the quadrennial trek to Iowa is really there to talk about — presidential politics.

Is he running? The answer is still a resounding "no."

So, will he make an endorsement?

He's not feeling "enthusiastic" about anyone currently in the field, he explained. "I am under no legal obligation to endorse anybody. I know I will be supporting whoever our party chooses to support," Christie said.

So the guy who's never at a loss for words is suddenly spouting boilerplate? What's up with that?

Meanwhile, Rick Perry is waiting in the wings, searching for "enthusiasm."

Perry, who has taken several high-profile meetings with potential supporters over the past month, said, "I'm basically asking people, 'Do you think there's room in this presidential election for a full-throated, unapologetic fiscal conservative? And if you do think there's room, are you going to help?'"

I for one would like to hear Chris Christie's answer to that question.

Because my answer is not just "yes," but "Hell Yes!"
