"...New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has been tapped to give the keynote address at the Republican National Convention next month in Tampa, according to NBC News.

Christie, a popular governor who decided against running for president, is a frequent surrogate for Mitt Romney. Today, he is helping his party's standard-bearer raise campaign funds.

While Christie has been frequently mentioned as a possible Romney running mate, he has said repeatedly that he is not interested in being vice president. ..."

So Christie definitely won't be the VP pick and he's maneuvering to become party leader and the new face of the GOP.

1. They're trying to make Christie an Obama.

Too bad for the wingnuts the jerk cannot speak.

2. He'll threaten, demean and slam though. Oh, I should add insult. nt

[aquart]

4. Yes, he can.

You missed The Last Word showing Christie saying sensible things.

Which makes me wonder what kind of keynote he can deliver to that crowd.

3. Will he be driven onstage by limo? or will he lumber on?

9. He may be flown in by helicopter...it's a safety issue...

Fire marshals are concerned that walking would cause his thighs to generate enough heat to start a fire as they rub together.

5. He's working on two speeches

One for Romney and one for Not-Romney.

6. we'll crush in NJ

bring him on!

7. Will there be enough doughnuts for that?

8. Great

The new face of the GOP won't even be in office in January 2014. Seriously - our unemployment numbers won't go down by next November. I want the jerk completely attached to the establishment GOP.

10. For security reasons, they'll lower him to the podium with a crane.

Seriously, though, watching his breathing after the least exertion makes me wonder if he'll make it to the podium.

11. His speaking fee will paid in Twinkies.

12. Who's going to be his sweat/slobber swabber for the speech?
