TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie still doesn't think anyone will ask him to be vice president. But just in case, he's willing to listen to the nominee's pitch.
In a radio interview with conservative talk show host Sean Hannity today, Christie continued to leave the door open to joining the eventual Republican nominee's ticket.
"I'm not going to sit here and be arrogant enough to say I wouldn't accept it when nobody has even asked me," he said.
Christie has repeatedly said that he doesn't think his personality — outspoken, sometimes brash — would be a good fit for the number two spot. But he said he won't say no prematurely.
"I think you would owe it to folks to listen to the person who would be the nominee of your party," Christie said.
Ever since Christie finally laid presidential speculation to rest earlier this month, the governor has faced a new round of questions over whether he'll consider being vice president.
Christie has endorsed Mitt Romney for president, and the former Massachusetts governor told NBC he would consider Christie as a possible running mate.
"He'd be on anyone's short list," Romney said.
