“In the end nobody votes for vice president,” said Gov. Chris Christie. “No matter who Governor Romney picks they’re not voting for him.”
By the same token, no one will vote for Obama because of Vice President Joe Biden, he said.
“No one’s saying ‘I’m not sure about this Obama guy but, boy, I love Biden,’” Christie cracked.

While Christie may secretly be disappointed he wasn’t picked...he may be spot on with this quip.
That's true but it overlooks a couple of points. First, Romney will be judged by his choice and, trust me, people vote for Romney.
But more importantly is the fact that Romney needs someone competent in the White House who can push his budget/agenda through Congress. Is there anyone better qualified to do that than Paul Ryan. Methinks not.
Remember when Bush chose Cheney? Did that help Bush win? I don't think so. Cheney was "divisive". But did he help Bush run the White House? You betcha, Big Time. So it will be with Paul Ryan. An excellent choice.
