Bush Forces Christie to Make Move Earlier

Jeb Bush’s aggressive entrance in the GOP presidential race “has sped up the timing of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is preparing to make a public move toward running at the end of this month rather than waiting until February or March,” the Washington Post reports.

First Read: “Oh, and there’s one more consequence of Jeb’s early — and obvious — presidential maneuvers: You haven’t heard another peep about Mitt Romney. Indeed, the first real victim of the Jeb-in-waiting campaign has been Romney; no one is talking about him anymore. The folks who were most intrigued about a third Romney run where big donors; and those donors like Jeb… in some cases, like Jeb.. A LOT.”
