Former Massachusetts Gov. and Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, right, shakes hands with N.J. Governor Chris Christie after Christie endorsed him today in Lebanon, N.H. last month.TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie again refused to cross his name off the list of possible vice presidential running mates, telling a New Hampshire radio station this afternoon that a selection for the second-highest post is out of his control.
"I'm not going to get into that," Christie said.
The governor is in the northeast today campaigning for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who he has endorsed for the White House. Christie said Romney was the "adult" of the GOP field.
"He's the guy who's not going to be caught off by the ups and downs that happen in a campaign," Christie told the "New Hampshire Today" radio show. "He's been through it before, he's got a plan and a vision for America. He's the guy who's going to be the adult, the grown up on stage, who is going to give the well thought out answers and put forward the good plan."
Christie said that in a general election, President Barack Obama would try to blame anyone but himself for the nation's ills, specifically the troubled economy, because he knows voters are angry with the direction of the country.
"I don’t think ultimately it will work," Christie said. "I don’t think the election's about yesterday, it’s about tomorrow. For the first three years he had huge majorities in the House and Senate and did nothing with them to create jobs in America."
Christie added: "This is about the president and his record and Gov. Romney’s vision for the future."
