Speculation is running high on who Mitt Romney will pick for his vice president.
And it appears at NJ Gov. Chris Christie is high on the list.
Several polls out this week show former Secretary of State Condeleeza Rice, rival Rick Santorum and Gov. Christie as voter favorites to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. Also among consideration, is Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. A Quinnipiac poll but Christie as the lead choice.
According to another poll, it's already a tight race between Obama and Romney, who have hit the campaign trail to woo voters.
Could the ticket of Romney/Christie give the GOP hopeful the edge he needs to beat the incumbent president?
What do you think?

Christie should run as Romney's running mate. They are perfect for one another and NJ would be much better off. Since he has become governor our taxes have continued to increase, the state's unemployment rate is one of the highest in the land at 46 and he is exactly a good example of everything that is wrong with america.
Romney should take him from us as soon as possible. He has big mouth and a lot o weight to throw around and thats about it... The man does not know what the word diplomat means.

Though I truly dislike Christie's politics and persona, he's WAY too smart for that. Why would he be in a rush? He's fairly young for a politician, and 2016 isn't that far away. Why would he risk his position as Gov. (which gets him TONS of press and a steady stream of suitors) for Mitt Romney? There's very little upside to it.
He loves the attention, and he loves being cast as the savior of the right, so he'll let this continue for as long as possible, but he'd be nuts to tie his wagon the The Most Boring Person in the World.
