Posted:

FILE- In this April 17, 2012, file photo, One World Trade Center, rises above the lower Manhattan skyline and the National September 11 Memorial, lower right, in New York.

Gov. Christie says he may end up Romney’s running mate

Posted:

In this March 29, 2012 photo, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie addresses a crowd at a town hall meeting in Manchester, N.J.

Yet the time-old tradition of the town hall has become the hallmark of Christie's administration and helped make him a rising Republican star. (AP Photo/Mel Evans)Chris Christie, the Republican governor of New Jersey, has been careful to say that he is not "campaigning" to become Mitt Romney's running mate, the 2012 vice presidential nominee of the Republican Party. But he's certainly open to the possibility that he would accept the job. During a visit Monday to a high school in [...]
