Christie was unwilling to risk leaving Gov'ship for VP run

Looks like Christie isn't quite as dumb as he looks. (The part about Bank campaign donations is pretty funny.)

Gov. Chris Christie wasn’t willing to give up the New Jersey statehouse to be Mitt Romney’s running mate because he doubted they’d win, The Post has learned.

Romney’s top aides had demanded Christie step down as the state’s chief executive because if he didn’t, strict pay-to-play laws would have restricted the nation’s largest banks from donating to the campaign — since those banks do business with New Jersey.

But Christie adamantly refused to sacrifice his post, believing that being Romney’s running mate wasn’t worth the gamble.

“(Christie) felt, at one point, that Obama could lose this. And, look, there still is that chance. But he knows, right now, you have to say it’s unlikely,” one source said.

Gov Creosote doesn't think Mitt will win. Pass the fois gras.
