He will be there for a series of roundtable discussions as Republicans celebrate Lincoln Day.

Meanwhile, political observers are noting a different Christie on the campaign trail.

Typically a brash talker, he has left the bravado and bluster at home. Some have even described him as more 'serious' and 'earnest.'

But, not everybody during his recent trip to Iowa liked what they saw. Some in the audience described Christie as a little flat.

They were drawn to his brashness, and wonder without it, if he can separate himself from the rest of the GOP pack.
