There are certain biases all over the country, right? We have certain predispositions and pre-conceived notions about folks, but as I get to know the folks in Alabama better over time, I think they'll understand that I'm a pretty conservative guy and have a record in New Jersey that is conservative," he said.
While Christie has traveled to Tennessee and Florida for RGA duties, Wednesday marks his first big swing in what many consider the Deep South. Later in the day he crosses the border into Mississippi to campaign for Gov. Phil Bryant in Biloxi.
To highlight his social conservative bona fides, Christie pointed to his anti-abortion record, noting that he's the first "pro-life governor" elected in New Jersey since the 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. He also mentioned that he has vetoed Planned Parenthood funding five times since becoming governor.

The sad thing is that he thinks he is a Conservative and some voters will believe him as well.
Someone needs to point out his record on gun control to these folks, now.
“Christie touts conservative chops in Alabama”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Don’t forget his flank, butt, shoulder, and hams as well.
He just has too much New Jersey all over him...you can’t wash it off.
The self-proclaimed “very conservative” Christie is very much aligned with the former “Republican” (and former Democrat) Bloomberg. True conservatives in AL need to be taking out ads showing how Christie aligns very much with the left on key issues, gun control being very key in AL.
Christie annoys me after about 2 seconds . . . clueless liar. We have our share of redneck idiots, but folks in AL pick up on BS pretty quickly, and Christie is a quarter-ton of complete BS.
They must mean pork chops cause crispy cream ain’t the “conservative” he tries to portray himself as.
Crony Capitalist (bankrupt) Casino shill.
Mississippi ping, as “Tea Party” Gov. Phil Bryant is having Chris Christie campaign for him.
Christie can use the Thad Cochran strategy...
“How To Win A Republican Primary Without Getting Any Conservative Votes.”
Go home Fatty Arbuckle!
This idiot is from the most taxed and one of the most crooked states there is.
HOw much has the N.J. Turnpike alone given to crooked politicians?
If any of his operatives are lurking here, give up! He’s got no chance in Hell!
Another “Severe” Conservative.
Fat boi is 100% Liberal DemocRat.
BUT as a Jersey gun owner, I can tell you that he vetoed two very awful anti-gun bills.
One in the summer of 2013 would've changed NJ's permit procedure for long guns and handguns, making an arduous policy much worse.
Another, in July 2014, would have reduced magazine and clip sizes from 15 to max of 10, outlawing many firearms such as .22 rifles with fixed tube feeds.
I'm not supporting the guy for President, but for a guy governing a rough Blue State like NJ, Chris Christie has had his moments. It took a lot for Christie to veto those bills--not to mention the frenzied actions of NJ gun groups like ANJRPC, the NJ NRA affiliate.
He deserves some level of acknowledgement by conservatives for those actions.
