Christie said repeatedly, in every venue he could find, that he was NOT interested in the VP slot. On Fox one day he even said, when/if he ever ran, he would be going for the TOP spot.
I think Christie is highly overrated and has been from day one.
I think, the northeastern born and bred are persnickety about the world outside their gates. Ann Coulter sure comes to mind when the name ChrispChristie comes up. I bought literally into her stick until a couple of years ago. Now every-time I think of her I see Bill Mayher's (sp) foul mouth and ugly face.
