running for president, that's my decision and mary pat's decision alone.ent is the decision of only one person, whoever the nominee of your party is. i think it's awful to say i won't do something that hasn't been offered. if governor romney testimonies comes to me and wants to talk to me about that, we will have a full, complete conversation and mary scpait will talk about our future. but my view is, i think if you fast forward the tape to a year from now, i think it's going to be president-elect romney and some other vice-president-elect and chris christie, governor of new jersey. >> greta: back in october, governor christie disappointed many republicans at the time, saying he would not run for president, at least not in 2012. he wants to remain new jersey's governor. plus, an unbelievable shot. >> that's a long way. >> she did it, she did it unbelievable! you can call it beginner's luck. a 59-year-old woman from new york makes that incredible goal. brenda hulit had never held a hockey stick before. she was one of several people chose tone test her skill
