The only thing surprising about this is the timing:
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, just one week after definitively announcing he will not run for president in the 2012 race, plans to endorse Mitt Romney for the job Tuesday afternoon, Fox News has learned.
The event is set to take place in Hanover, N.H., the site of the Republican presidential debate being held Tuesday night. The endorsement will be made in advance of the debate.
Marking a fast turnaround for Romney, the endorsement comes one week to the day since Christie called a press conference in Trenton to end once and for all the speculation that he would make a late entrance into the race.

What a disappointment.
You expected better from Joisey?
Come on you had to see that coming. ;-)
RINO supports RINO, why is this news?

RINOS of a feather....
After RWR the GOP swore they'd never allow an outsider to win the nomination again.
This would appear to be a useless gesture inasmuch as it will garner only RINO votes for a RINO that already has the RINO vote sewed up.
When is the Debate tonight?
What time? (time zone specific)
What station?
TY
A loudmouthed RINO endorses a RINO... imagine that...
As if he needed any more.
The Republican establishment endorses the Republican establishment. What a shock.
Christie’s endorsement will mean nothing. People admired Christie’s bold actions - not necessarily his policies.
An endorsement is not a personality transplant.
A desperate attempt to get Cain off the front page.
Christie as potential VP choice could be interesting space to watch.
I love Harman Cain but his idea to add a sales tax without abolishing the IRS ought to scare the pants off any true conservatives. Every candidate has his up and down sides. I love Newt’s ideas and experience but he is polarizing and he has a lot of personal baggage. And so it goes with each candidate.
Its more important than ever for the conservatives in the race to get behind one of their number. I don’t care which one - give the base a place to focus.
Great time for Palin to offer her endorsement to counter this.
Romney is a candidate Christie can sink his teeth into.
