Chris Christie Rejects Romney Days Before Election

Christie Rejects Romney Days Before Election

BOSTON -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who was effusive in his praise of President Barack Obama when the two leaders toured damage from Hurricane Sandy last week, turned down a request by Mitt Romney to appear with him at a rally on Sunday night in Pennsylvania, The Huffington Post has learned.

Christie's decision will only add to questions among Republicans about what the governor -- who is up for reelection a year from now -- is thinking, and why he went out of his way to heap praise on the president, and then refused to appear with Romney.

The Romney rally was held at a farm in Morrisville, Pa., not more than 20 minutes from Trenton, the New Jersey capital. The physical proximity of the event to New Jersey only added to questions in the Romney campaign about why Christie chose not to come.

"You can't tell me he couldn't have gone over there for a night rally," a Romney campaign source told HuffPost.

Wow... Christie is smarter than I thought. He's got sense enough NOT to appear on the stage with the guy who is about to go down in flames, and have that image come back to haunt him later...

Smart man...

Or maybe he doesn't want to be seen as abandoning his state right now with almost a miilion without power.

Mostly like the real reason.

Yeah, kind of like the President did with the whole Eastern seaboard and all of the affected states...

While RMoney staged a phony "disaster relief event"....in OHIO... with $5,000 of his own money....
