The New York Post reports a source within the Romney campaign said New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was high on Mitt Romney's list of potential running mates, but he didn't make the cut because he refused to resign from his office.
Christie seems to have no ill will. He endorsed the duo, saying Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan understand the nation’s “economic stagnation” and calling them “uniquely positioned to make the tough choices necessary to confront our fiscal challenges.”
He could be announced as the keynote speaker for the GOP convention “as early as Tuesday,” the source said.
