I for one am glad
that New Jersey Governor Christie turned down a run for President this cycle,
and I hope that he turns down the chance to play second fiddle (or rather
double-bass) to Governor Romney on the GOP ticket.

Just as the sun
outshines the moon, I cannot think of a bigger politician who commands so much
media spotlight compared to the careful and calculating GOP candidate from
Massachusetts. A Romney-Christie ticket would hinder the nominee, a man who is
trying to diminish his New England moderation and establish his national
credentials while overcoming his notional conservatism.

A recent Newsweek
articles smugly suggested that Christie has “passed his sell-by date”, that he
has “missed his moment”. Nothing could be further from the truth. His star is
only rising. For the time being, we need leadership in every statehouse in the
Union as well as the White House. Christie has served his state well. Christie
should finish the job and serve as an example to governors across the country
that leadership and character with can meet popular fears and political
opposition with character and compromise for the good of all.

Romney has proven
his credentials after four years in the Democratic stronghold of the Bay State.
Now let’s see the Great Ball of Fire from Trenton finish his tenure in the
Garden state. When he has completed his term, he will be the tried and true
likely GOP successor in future Presidential elections.
