President Definition-of-Sexy? Seems it’s not so far-fetched after all. If Christie indeed decides to toss his hat into the ring for the next go-round, the 2016 presidential race could get a little more fist-pump-y.

Via WPVI-TV Philadelphia:

The first-term GOP governor says he hopes Republican Mitt Romney beats President Obama in November and seeks re-election in 2016. But if the presidency is open, Christie says he’ll “certainly think about it.”

He said: “If there’s an opportunity for me to serve in another capacity and I think I have something to add to the mix, I don’t think I’d back away from it.”

Some interpreted Christie’s statement to mean that he isn’t all that confident in Romney’s ability to beat Obama:

“@politico: Chris Christie says he'll think about 2016 — if Obama wins this time: http://t.co/rSMCEpdZ” giving up on Mitt already!

Chris Christie obviously isn't betting on Romney to beat PBO

“@TwitchyPolitics: Chris Christie says he's open to 2016 presidential bid http://t.co/iakMyEZs” Ishe assuming a 2012 Obama win?

Others felt a Christie presidency wouldn’t do much to further the conservative cause:

Chris Christie is not a conservative.

I agree, but it would behoove us all if you listed the ways. 😉 “@bdomenech: Chris Christie is not a conservative.”

And inevitably, a few people couldn’t resist knocking Christie over his weight:

Why focus on a politician’s words and deeds when you can focus on his weight? Ah, tolerance.
