Christie will be hanging out now with Barbour. Very interesting!

I like Chris Christie. I hope he is Governor long enough to turn the state around.

I really like Christie. I like the way he approaches problems.

He's easy going and never seems to get upset about anything.

Sid,

I think Christie is the type of person who believes in repaying favors.

When he was a down in the polls and unknown, Romney was in his corner raising money and campaigning for him.

If Romney runs, 100% guarantee Christie will back him.

I think Christie is his own man enough to back whomever he thinks would do the best job as POTUS, regardless of assistance and support he received.

And I think Romney is adult enough to not be offended if it turns out not to be him. I think there's a good chance it would be Romney, but don't agree it's a lock.

I agree that Christie will back Romney. He's made it very clear that he has not intentions of running. Why won't some listen to him?

Sid,

I wouldn't worry to much about Barbour having any influence over Christie.
