Christie Wasn't Willing to Resign as Governor to Be Romney's V.P. Pick

  • a report in the New York Post suggests that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who will deliver Tuesday's keynote at the Republican National Convention, is not confident of the nominee's chances. According to unnamed sources, Romney's campaign would have insisted that Christie resign as governor in order to run for vice president, but that Christie refused because he didn't think they could win.
The story doesn't say that Christie was formally offered the job or that he was even the number one choice, but the resignation was apparently a prerequisite for any offer to join the ticket. The fear was that if he remained in his day job, the campaign would not be able to accept donations from Wall Street banks that do business in New Jersey. Yet, the Post says that despite being pushed to take the job, "Chris knows the score" and wasn't willing to sacrifice his position to join a losing effort.
this again from the keynoter in denial, they pick him anyway. 
as far as it making a difference no their base does not care. they have heard or read the intent of the party and it's ramifications to them at least some have and the constitutional breach of voter fraud, fraud by them and the war on women. they could care less they will still vote him in. base is just as radical as their politicians guilt by association.
the right has done nothing for the country or it's people and alienated all groups they wouldneed to win, so why is he hitching his wagon to that elephant 2016 will be no better if they are elected, and he'll still be a liar who tried to unleash hell on earth through his party, not presidential.
