Romney Didn't Ask Christie to Join Ticket...Yet New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Mitt Romney didn't offer him the number two spot at a fundraiser they appeared at together on Tuesday. At a town hall in Mahwah, NJ Wednesday he said Romney "did not ask me last night to run for vice president while I was with him," according to the Associated Press. He also told the northern New Jersey audience that he has no inside intel on who Romney may choose, but he doesn't think it will be him. It wasn't the only time the top office came up at the town hall. In a light moment that became passionate, a young man told Christie he intended on being the governor of New Jersey and then president and wanted some advice. "Because the press is here I'm giving you no advice on how to be President of the United States," Christie answered with a chuckle before doling out some words of wisdom on how to become governor telling him to "make sure you believe in something first." "It doesn't mean that everybody is always going to love ya because when you do something I guarantee you are going to tick a lot of people off," Christie advised. Christie and Romney appeared at a fundraiser at the Renaissance Hotel in Woodbridge, New Jersey together Tuesday night that raked in at least 1.7 million dollars for the presumptive GOP nominee's campaign. About 200 supporters listened to Christie say New Jersey will be "Romney country." Romney joked that he hoped someone in the crowd of donors would heckle the tough talking governor, for kicks. That man really is something, you know that? Romney said, "I was hoping someone would heckle him so I could watch him go to town here, but you know better, don't you?" President Obama leads in polling in the Garden State, but the fundraiser was Romney's third money raising stop in the state since December, showing just how lucrative the state has been for fundraising despite Obama's electoral advantages there.
