"I want to support Gov. Romney because I believe he's the best person to be able to articulate Republican values and defeat Barack Obama in November 2012," Christie said.
After Christie announced he would not run, he and Romney have had a series of conversations over the past week that lead to the announcement, a campaign source told CNN.
During the press conference announcement, Romney was asked for the first time to respond to remarks by Pastor Robert Jeffress, an influential Baptist leader who recently called Mormonism a "cult" and said Mormons were "not Christians." Jeffress made the remarks Friday after endorsing Rick Perry at the Values Voter Summit in Washington.
Since the comments, Romney, a Mormon, has worked to keep his message on jobs and the economy. But on Tuesday he called for Perry to repudiate Pastor Jeffress.
"I just don't believe that that kind of divisiveness based on religion has a place in this country," Romney said.
While Perry has largely avoided questions on the subject, he told reporters in Iowa on Friday he does not consider Mormonism a cult.
Christie went further in faulting the Perry campaign for not renouncing Jeffress more strongly.
"Any campaign that associates itself with that type of comment is beneath the office of President of the United States," he said.
Nope, but the chances of me voting for Christie went from 25% to 0%.
Yep, I lost respect for him on this one too. It would seem that if Christie approves of Romney then both of them are nothing but big government east coast RINOs. The fact they are both slightly to the right of a dead Kennedy doesn't impress me much.

Surprised you had any respect for him in the first place. You can't be a conservative governor of an extremely liberal state. Not gonna happen. That's why Christie and Romney are both big government shills. But, then again, ALL establishment approved Republicans are big government shills that talk the talk, but don't walk the walk
no one saw a significant point with this endorsement?
You know the old saying "BIRD OF FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER"?
do you know that New Jersey is as liberal as Massachusetts?
.... consider this:
the SAME VOTER BASE who kept reelecting the Liberal Lion Ted Kennedy is who voted for and elected Romney.

Monmouth Congressman: “Most Liberal”
By Greg Kelly February 26, 2010 (And New Jersey Politicians Are the “Most Centrist”)
A new ranking of 2009 Congressional votes from the National Journal finds that Representative Rush Holt is the “Most Liberal” member of the US House of Representatives. Mr. Holt, who lives in Hopewell Twp., is one of three NJ congressmen to represent our county in Washington, DC. (SOURCE (http://www.monmouthcountylife.com/a-monmouth-life/weve-got-the-most-liberal-memeber-of-congress/ - broken link))
The New Jersey boy's are more liberal than the little Bush's fiscal policies
There are sheep in wolves clothing (unlike Obama who is a wolf in sheep's clothing)

Reason: fix The are sheep to say There are sheep
Will someone who thinks that Rick Perry as POTUS will be good for the country please explain why?
To me, he is a dumber Dubya.
At least Bush 43 was not a card-carrying staunch Democrat for the majority of his life, although he could have been. The way the GOP controlled Congress was spending under Bush was reminiscent of the Democrat spending under LBJ.
Romney and Perry are not conservative, by any means. Just as Bush was never a conservative. All three are/were big-government Democrats pretending to be small-government Republicans. No one who wants to see the size and spending of the federal government reduced could vote for either candidate and not be a hypocrite.
