Just a day after his latest media smackdown went viral (watch it here), Chris Christie is again answering questions about whether or not he‘d be Mitt Romney’s vice president. And while he’s never shot it down completely, he seems to be considering the possibility even more now.
“This is an election with one voter, Mitt Romney. He gets to decide who he thinks should be the vice president of the United States,” Christie told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “I love being governor of New Jersey, you can tell. But the fact is, if Gov. Romney picks up the phone and calls, you have to answer the call and listen at least.”

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 5:21pmIf Romney asks Chris “loud mouth” Christie to be his VP than it is sure thing that Mitt Romney will never be president. It will also demonstarte that he is as dumb as Ron Paul.

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 10:48amHe can stay in NJ. He is a fraud. Allen West would make a much better choice because he uses history, facts and the constitution to belittle his opponents. Christie is nothing but a loud mouth who carries himself around like a dictator. Perhaps a good choice for Governor of NJ, bad choice for the country

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 10:32amROMNEY is already working on his Election Night concession speech.
Romney (John McCain II) does not have the testicular fortitude to defeat Obama. Romney performed more vicious attacks on Republicans and TEA candidates they he ever has or will do on Democrats. Romney has nothing. He had nothing specific to say about any of the Roberts Court decisions. He has no plans for the economy. We are doomed so get use to it.

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 9:56amMitt Romney had better choose a level headed Conservative! Christie is a hothead and would rival Joe Biden for making brash comments. Aside from that, he’s not a good risk because of his physical condition. He’s next in line for the Presidency, can we risk it? I say NO!

In an October 27 interview with Sean Hannity, Gov. Christie admitted that he favors gun control.
Christie: We have a densely populated state and there’s a big handgun problem in New Jersey. Now, I don’t support all the things that the governor supports, by a long stretch. But on certain gun control issues, looking at it from a law enforcement perspective, seeing how many police officers were killed — we have an illegal gun problem in New Jersey.
Hannity: Should every citizen in your state be allowed to get a licensed weapon if they want one?
Christie: In New Jersey, that’s not going to happen, Sean.
Hannity: Why?
Christie: Listen, with the Democratic Legislature that we have, there is no way those type of things -
Hannity: Would you support it.”
Christie: Listen, at the end of the day, what I support are common sense laws that will allow people to protect themselves. But I also am very concerned about the safety of our police officers on the streets. Very concerned. And I want to make sure that we don’t have an abundance of guns out there

Yes focus on the fat comment instead of the gun control point. He was making a point you chose to ignore.
The American people need to be more armed not less. Police forces are now armed for invasion. The only thing to keep them in check is citizens being equally armed. Criminals dont care about gun laws. The only thing gun laws help is criminals and overpowered cops to do bad things.
