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 there’s a lot of ground to cover in the next 42 days,” New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who’s been in-demand as a fundraiser and campaign surrogate, told reporters today after breaking ground on an elementary school in Long Branch. “I don’t 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."

"Just keep lying and accusing Pres Obama of lying and we'll bank on voter suppression, diebold, and repub Secretary of States and the corporatemedia...ooops, they seem to be reporting on your mistakes." "Oh, and drop Ryan's medicare plan and tell them you have a better one".
