Many Republicans do not want to see him built up as the front runner for the White House.

"We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don't need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go...We don't need someone to think it up or design it...We just need a president to sign this stuff...Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen..."
-- Grover Norquist, February 2012

That certainly describes Bush Junior, McCrazed and R-Money -- but certainly not Governor Soprano. The Rethug establishment don't want Christie as the 2016 frontrunner because he has certainly illustrated that they won't be able to control him the way Cheney and Rove controlled Bush. Had McCain and Romney won, their running mates Palin and Ryan would have been the pipelines through with Norquist & Co. would have done their "directing."
