well, is he? he's now in third place in florida which brings us to new jersey governor chris christie who still says he's not running despite republicans begging him to get into the race. according to politico, three sources close to christie says it's a family decision between christie and his wife, mary pat and he could still decide to run. with opinions like this one, christie could be just another gop flavor of the month. >> this sharia law business is crap. it's just crazy. and i'm tired of dealing with the crazies. >> christie is not conservative enough for a lot of the republican party. including some of the current candidates. >> some people would infuse sharia law in our court system if we allow it. i honestly believe that. >> by the way, herman cain is up 19 points in a few florida poll. good enough for second place. joining me tonight is steve, political columnist for salon.com and also joe madison,
