As Mitt Romney increasingly mixes it up with his primary rivals, he's unleashing Chris Christie to help take on the competition.
The New Jersey governor was on the campaign trail for Romney in Florida on Thursday, and had some choice words for his new chief antagonist in the GOP race, Newt Gingrich.
"Speaker Gingrich has never run anything," Christie said when asked to compare the two candidates, according to FLDemocracy2012.com, a Scripps Media project. "He's been a legislator. I have to tell you I dont think being a legislator is the best calling card."
"Look at the guy we have in the White House now: He never ran anything and was a legislator," he continued, linking Gingrich to President Obama.
Christie also dismissed Gingrich as just the latest "flavor of the two weeks," saying his poll numbers are just "as solid as the Cain numbers were, as solid as the Perry numbers were, as solid as the Bachmann numbers were."

So you are a union supporter, huh?
PS, nice signature pic.
I knew right away that this douche bag was out to help Romney. There’s a reason why we don’t trust politicians from the NE....things like this.
For some reason christie reminds me of Taft. And taffy. His cred is doing what had to be done to the public unions. Pretty much every other state will have to do the same thing. He was just first in attempting to balance the state checkbook where it had to be done. Had nothing to do with conservatism.
Furthest thing from it and I actually think that is a strong point for Christie. Prime failure mode is the Second Amendment, IMO. Any politician that doesn't get that right is dead to me.
Looks like Ann Coulter has two boyfriends...
I see you found the conservative cred I was talking about...heh
I had forgotten about this. Makes me hate Mitt even more than I had. There is also the story about his lame excuse about why none of his sons were in the military even though Mitt was gung-ho on sending other people’s kids to war. He said his sons were doing their bit by working on his campaign. Mitt is a puke.
Christie looks like he could have done bit parts in the Sopranos.
