Christie Likes Being Asked to Run
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said he never tires of being asked to run for president, but he insists he’s still not doing it, the AP reports.
Said Christie: “How self-important would one have to be to become tired and annoyed by having people ask you to run for president? I’m a kid from Jersey who has people asking him to run for president. I’m thrilled by it. I just don’t want to do it.”
Gingrich’s Wife to Play Key Role in Campaign
Callista Gingrich, who is “perhaps best remembered for the six-year affair that contributed to her husband’s political downfall,” is now expected to play a key role in her husband’s presidential campaign, the New York Times reports.
It’s “a curious tale of Washington reinvention” in which the onetime Georgia congressman “is counting on the third Mrs. Gingrich for his political redemption.”
“Gingrich is presenting himself as a family man who has embraced Catholicism and found God, with his wife as a kind of character witness. Depending on one’s point of view, she is a reminder of his complicated past, or his secret political weapon.”
Schwarzenegger Splits with Wife
Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) and his wife, Maria Shriver, “have separated, with Shriver moving out of their Brentwood mansion while the two determine the next step in their 25-year marriage,” the Los Angeles Times reports.
“Over the years, the marriage between the international celebrity and the daughter of the Kennedy dynasty has come under close scrutiny, especially during the 2003 recall of Gov. Gray Davis, when The Times reported on Schwarzenegger’s lengthy history of groping women. At the time, Shriver defended her husband, helping lift him to victory in the free-for-all contest.”
