(AP). Republican Chris Christie campaigned in south Jersey Thursday with former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
The former Massachusetts governor says Christie will provide the kind of conservative leadership New Jersey needs.
Romney told a crowd of about 50 on the steps of Haddonfield Borough Hall that New Jersey has "tried liberal" and it's time for the state "to have a chance to try conservative."
"I'm convinced the challenges facing New Jersey and the rest of the country can be overcome with courageous leadership. Chris Christie is a strong conservative voice for balanced budgets, low taxes and more jobs. He will bring badly-needed change to state government," Romney said in a statement released by his Free and Strong America PAC. "By electing Chris Christie, the people of New Jersey will be taking a giant step toward a brighter and more prosperous future."
From PolitickerNJ:
...Mitt Romney's decision to pick a horse in the New Jersey Republican gubernatorial primary likely accomplishes two things: it boosts former U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie's standing among conservatives, and it strengthens Romney's chances of picking up organizational and fundraising support in New Jersey if he seeks the 2012 GOP nomination for President.
Christie leads former Bogota Mayor Steven Lonegan, who has been the de facto leader of the conservative wing of the New Jersey GOP for the last six years, by 23 percentage points, according to a poll released last week by Quinnipiac University.

These are the phony Republicans that caused the Democrats to win. Why should people vote for these Republicans that act like Democrats when they can get the real thing?
I am voting for Steve Lonegan and I won't support these hacks supporting the other phony candidate with no plan and a bunch of platitudes.
