Ya tenemos un claro front-runner para la Vicepresidencia en caso de que Romney sea el nominado.
The Star-Ledger:
Fresh from his trip to Iowa to boost GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney’s standing with Republican caucus voters, Gov. Chris Christie tonight helped fill the candidate’s campaign coffers.
The governor hosted Romney at a fundraiser Christie said took in $1.1 million for the former Massachusetts governor. Billed as the Romney campaign’s "New Jersey Kickoff Reception," the high-priced shin-dig at the Parsippany Hilton cost a minimum of $500 and drew more than 500 people.
Almost every Republican bigwig in the state showed up, sending the message that the New Jersey Republican establishment is in lock step behind Romney — and Christie, his highest profile surrogate on the campaign trail. The governor said all 21 county chairmen are endorsing Romney, as are 14 of 16 Republican state Senators and 27 of 33 GOP assembly members.
"Welcome to Morris County. Welcome to New Jersey. And New Jersey tonight is officially Mitt Romney country," Christie said.
Romney began his 14-minute speech by heaping praise on Christie. "This guy’s just amazing. The whole nation’s watching this guy," he said.
