A new round of speculation emerged over the weekend concerning the possible candidacy of Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ). Fox News reported on Friday that Christie will “let top Republican donors know within days about his plans.”

The rumors of a Christie campaign have been circulating in an endless feedback loop since early this year, with GOP donors desperately pleading to get the New Jersey governor into the race only to hear the possible candidate decline to enter the field each and every time.

The latest rumor notes that “significant GOP support has remained on the sidelines of the primary fight,” implying that such supporters would immediately move to support Christie if he did decide to finally toss his hat into the ring.
