Michael Dennehy, another uncommitted New Hampshire-based strategist said: “It’s quiet and a little weird. If he’s really seriously considering it, when does he start putting calls into New Hampshire?”

I suppose the chances of Mr, Christie getting into the race have increased over the last few days, but I still see it as less than 50-50. I think maybe he sees Perry's decline and thinks he can win over the base with his boisterous personality. If he enters the race it is actually more likely that he would give aid and comfort to Perry, as he would deflate Romney and suffer the same fate as Perry once voters discover his blasphemies, ironically turning them back over to Perry.
