Christie Back in the Fray: Stumping for Romney in Illinois

Since endorsing Governor Mitt Romney for President in October of 2011, Governor Christie has been one of his biggest supporters. Not only have Romney’s events in New York and New Jersey lead to some impressive fundraising stats, but the Christie has stuck his neck out on Mitt’s behalf in numerous key states and in the media on numerous occasions. But lets be honest.

It’s been a while.

Christie has not made a public appearance for Mitt Romney since the beginning of this year, but now that the media is attempting to implant the idea that Mitt is a weak candidate in the minds of the masses, something needs to be done. Illinois, a state that the GOP unfortunately will not be winning in November for obvious reasons, has become an important state for Romney, and if you were to ask the media it would be do-or-die. Although Romney is well ahead in the all important delegate count, and actually won more delegates the other night, the headlines all speak of his embarrassment at the hands of Rick Santorum.

I think with Christie’s help Romney will take Illinois, a state that he likely would have won himself, by a stronger margin. Christie is considered to exhibit a lot of what Romney simply cannot. He’s more personable, more interesting, and has the ability to speak with a sense of urgency that gets people moving, and that is exactly what Governor Romney needs now.

  1. Did he call anyone an idiot? christie needs to come down to south jersey and explain why he wants to get rid of Rutgers in south jersey.

  2. I agree Mitt has demonstrated he too can be crass and out of touch–much like the etnire GOP field for POTUS right now. It's startling at how so many claim Obama has come up short when compared to his GOP "peers" he reminds us what "presidential" looks and sounds like.
