I always wondered why it seemed like New Jersey Governor Chris Christie didn't much care for 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. When endorsing or attempting to compliment Romney during the campaign, Christie appeared to be like a soon-to-be-wed woman's father who wasn't thrilled with her choice of his future son-in-law.
Daughter: "So, do you like him daddy? Will you be okay with him marrying me?"
Father: "Uh, yeah, I guess, whatever. Ugh."
Reporter: "Do you still endorse Mitt Romney for president?"
Christie: "Sure... Why not? Do I really have a choice in the matter?"
Well, more light has been shed on the situation with the release of the new book Double Down by journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann. In it, the following is written:
"Romney marveled at Christie's girth, his difficulties in making his way down the narrow aisle of the campaign bus. Watching a video of Christie without his suit jacket on, Romney cackled to his aides, 'Guys! Look at that!'"
The Romney team also used code names for their vice presidential short-list, and called it, "Project Goldfish." While former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty was called Lakefish, Ohio Senator Rob Portman was dubbed Filet-O-Fish, Florida Senator Marco Rubio was nicknamed Pescado, and Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan was labeled the not-very-secretive Fishconsin, Chris Christie was referred to as Pufferfish.
I'm now awaiting word that Christie will challenge Romney to an Ultimate Fighting match, where he'll declare that he could beat Romney by using just 47% of his strength, and after winning the fight, will refer to Romney as dead fish.
