Hahaha - good luck with that, talk about the elephant in the room, Christie is a moderate Republican from Jersey, he'll be up against the same group of religious right and Tea Party loons ganging up against him in the early primaries that Romney had to deal with. Even if he survives that they'll have made him look like a liberal in conservative's clothing and probably worse.
"Double Down", the just released book on the 2012 Presidential race goes into great detail regarding Romney's process of picking his running mate. Romney's right hand man wanted Christie, so did Romney, but what his campaign dug up about Christie scared Romney off, he's got a lot of baggage and I'm sure the Clintons are already following up on the dirt found by Romney's people.
And Romney is quite the classy guy, he was making fat jokes about Christie in front of everybody, in Christie's presence - 60 year old rich douche acting like he's the captain of the high school football team ridiculing the fatso.
I'd like to see Christie run, would make for great political theater.
