WHY DIDN'T CHRIS CHRISTIE RUN, DOES ANYONE KNOW THE REAL REASON

[dirty dog]

His connection to the mob could be evidence to support those whispers of coruption when he was the Atorney General. And just a little digging by some reporters showed that he visited Tino several times while Tino was locked up and there was more family interaction that he alluded too. But what do I know.

I don't think it was out of fear of skeletons in the closet. He might have some, but that didn't stop him from running for governor.

Also, from reports from his media spokesmen and family, he came VERY CLOSE to pulling the trigger. I don't think he would have even given it a thought (at least publicly) if he was worried about skeletons. Plus, even his family and advisers were saying, off the record, that he had virtually decided to run, but then did a 180 VERY SUDDENLY. The timing of the turn-around makes me think that whatever it was that made him change his mind, happened at the last minute. Then, one or two days later, he unconditionally endorsed Mitt Romney.

My guess is that he traded his political capital for a promise of a place in Romney's administration should Romney win. He's a smart guy and is "working on his resume" and biding his time for the right moment.

Christie needs the support of the conservative spine of the GOP and he wouldn't have it. He is a personality but he is not a conservative. He is pro-gun control, pro-choice, and the afore mentioned family problems. His support would have been luke warm at best.

Tell that to Mitt Romney.

It seems obvious that Romney has the same problem. His support in the polls has been pretty much the same during this whole process. Neither going up too much or going down too much. Like the Ron Paul zombies, his supporters are loyal.
