PRINCETON, N.J. - Gov. Chris Christie is planning to meet with top Iowa Republican campaign contributors who want him to run for president.
Christie is set to meet on Tuesday with energy company executive Bruce Rastetter and a half-dozen other prominent Iowa GOP donors at the governor's mansion in Princeton.
Christie maintains he's not running in 2012. The Iowans want to change his mind because they're unhappy with President Barack Obama.
Christie has already met with several potential contenders including former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour also stopped by before he decided he wouldn't run.
