He's turned a fiscally backwards and debt-riddled state and has begun to turn it around, something that was widely considered impossible. He's also taken the largely corrupt teachers' union of New Jersey head-on.
In the grand scheme of things, Christie seems like an almost-perfect candidate for Republicans. He has a great track record, has turned around a floundering state, and has an in-your-face attitude, but one that gets things done. Funny thing is, Republicans have no front-runner at the moment.
Enter top Iowan "moneymen" willing and ready to donate money to a strong candidate. Though Christie has repeatedly stated that he will not run for President in 2012 "under any circumstances," these men will not take "no" for an answer.

| Gov. Christie |
A group of major GOP contributors from Iowa, who are disenchanted with the party's presidential field, have scheduled a May 31 meeting with Christie to woo him into challenging President Obama.
It is a dramatic change of tactics for the GOP honchos, who are usually on the receiving end of the election-year courting ritual, as candidates seek their support for the country's first nominating contest.
"There isn't anyone like Chris Christie on the national scene for Republicans," said Iowa energy-company exec Bruce Rastetter, one of a half-dozen GOP donors meeting with the governor.
"We believe that he, or someone like him, running for president is very important at this critical time in our country," Rastetter said.
