LEBANON, N.H. — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie endorsed Mitt Romney on Tuesday, saying it was an easy choice.
“I’m here in New Hampshire for a simple reason: America cannot survive another four years with Barack Obama,” Christie said. “Mitt Romney is the man we need to lead America, and we need him know — that’s why I’m here.”
Christie praised Romney’s experience both as a governor and in the private sector “running businesses, turning businesses around, going in there telling people the truth about what needed to be done, coming up with the plan to get it done.”
Christie criticized what he described as Obama’s campaign strategy “to divide America.” Americans, he said, would believe in optimism over division: “They want to believe in somebody who believes America’s future can be greater; not someone who is trying to divide an ever-shrinking pie among the American people.”
