Christie backs Romney
(CNN) - Republican Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey endorsed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney Tuesday.
"I'm here in New Hampshire today for one simple reason – America cannot survive another four years of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney is the man we need to lead America and we need him now and that's why I'm here," Christie said at an event in Lebanon, New Hampshire.

Sarah Pailin is my choice because I couldn't get Joe Lieberman approved by the nut wing of my party.
No surprise here. Governor Christie is a liberal too.
Those who are not liberal Country Clubbers had better get on board the Cain Train. Romney ain't gonna happen!
Methinks this endorsement is a big thing going for Romney- it validated Romney's ability to lead this country. And that there are leaders who would back him. I have read comments above and most of the comments are, obviously, from ignorant people who don't know what they are talking about! They just kept ranting and ranting– most of their points are baseless. Go Romney!!
A liberal endorsing another. Perhaps not as too the left as Obama, but you never know.
I am Republican and will not vote for a Mormon. So Kyle is wrong – I will vote third party if Romney is the nominee. And so will a lot of other Christian conservatives.
wow for some reason I thought he was going to endorse Obama!
The GOP is a gang of misfits and fools. Any of them should consider instead a run for court jester.
Romney endorsed Christie in his run for office
Matt: so if you won't vote for Romney and vote for a third party, you'll get Obama a second term. Between a rock and hard place?
Wow ... I'm glad I'm not from Jersey .... I don't care who Christie endorses ...
