Christie on Romney: If Election Were Tomorrow `That Would Be a Problem’
Source: Bloomberg
Republican Mitt Romney has been forced to take a more aggressive tact after blow-back from his 47 percent comments on a secretly recorded video released last week. Polls show him losing ground to President Barack Obama in some battleground states.
But those reset efforts may not be in vain, one of his top campaigners said.
We had a bad week if the election were going to be held tomorrow that would be a problem, but theres a lot of ground to cover in the next 42 days, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, whos been in-demand as a fundraiser and campaign surrogate, told reporters today after breaking ground on an elementary school in Long Branch. I dont think we need to overreact on this.
Christie, 50, turned down entreaties by Republican politicians and some business executives last year to make his own run for the White House. He was also the first sitting governor to line up behind Romney at the time. He said he spoke to Romney by phone yesterday but declined to elaborate on the discussion.

I don't know what Christie told Mittens, but I can guess what he was thinking:
"Thanks for making it easier for me to run in 2016."

(5,049 posts)Chris Christie is so politically savvy he has driven his own reputation into the cellar as he has blown a huge deficit in the New Jersey economy. If I were Romney, I would trust Chris Christie any further than he could throw him.
And that's no very damn far at all.
