The pairing of two powerhouses…
Governor Mitt Romney and Governor Chris Christie joined forces for an interview with Jamie Gangel (National Correspondent for the Today Show) in Lebanon, NH. The interview aired yesterday morning (10/12/11).
Gangel asked Christie why he endorsed Romney, their opinions on Rick Perry’s Pastor problem, and if Christie had been offered the VP title.
Gov. Christie on why he endorsed The Gov:
“He is the best person for the job. It’s simply on the merits. And the fact is that we need to make sure that Barack Obama’s a one-term president for America’s future. There’s no question in my mind that Gov. Romney’s the person who gives us the best chance of winning back the White House in November 2012. And I want to do everything I can to help him.”
Gangel: “What do you give his [Romney's] chances against Barack Obama?
Christie: “He’s gonna win.”
Gangel: “No questions about it…?”
Christie: “I wouldn’t be with him – if he wasn’t gonna win. He’s gonna win.”
Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush isn’t quite ready to endorse a presidential candidate yet, but after the Bloomberg/Washington Post debate, he voiced praise for Romney:
Former Florida Gov Jeb Bush
“I continue to be impressed with Mitt Romney’s performance in these debates. He’s cool, calm, collected. He’s quick, he’s agile,” the former Florida governor told CNN’s Piers Morgan Wednesday. “I think he could do well going up against President Obama in the fall if he’s the nominee.“

Awesome interview!! I would not mind VP Christie at all. He’s proven himself to me over the past few days. As a Mormon, I’m touched by his supportive words. He is right, of course, that religious tests have no place in our free nation. I’m excited to see these two moving forward, whether Christie ends up as the VP nominee or not. But I think it’s clearer than ever that Mitt Romney is the man to lead us to victory and to a better version of America (closer to the original version). I can’t wait.
