Iowa Republicans Urge Christie Not to Skip Caucuses

The Hill:
“Iowa Republicans are urging New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) to
contest the state’s first-in-the-nation caucuses if he runs for
president in 2016, warning a decision to ignore the Hawkeye State would
do more harm than good to his campaign. Christie is widely expected to
focus on the New Hampshire primary if he runs — partly out of a
calculation that he’d fare better in the Granite State than among social
conservatives, who hold powerful sway in the Iowa GOP.”
