Clueless fucking load Chris Christie thinks Mitt is Presidential because he "shows affection openly"
http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/chris-christie-tells-iowa-republicans-mitt-romney-wont-embarrass-america/2011/12/07/gIQAJQwDeO_story.html

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, addressing about 100 Republicans in the lobby of a family-owned convenience store chain’s headquarters here, got right to the point: “If you’re looking for a candidate who agrees with you on everything, buy a mirror.”

Instead, he added, “When you look at these extraordinary candidates, say, ‘Is this the kind of person that is always going to make me proud in the Oval Office — and I never have to worry whether they’ll embarrass America, that I never have to worry will do something that will make me ashamed?’”

****

Christie talked about an afternoon in October when Romney and his wife, Ann, visited him and his wife, Mary Pat, at the governor’s mansion in New Jersey for lunch. They sat in the back yard for two and a half hours, with the Christies’ kids cycling in and out on their skateboards and roller blades.

“He spent as much time talking to my children — I have four of them, between 8 and 18 — than he spent talking to me and Mary Pat,” Christie said. “You can’t fake that. Politicians can be taught to fake a lot of things. You can’t fake that. This is someone who I’ve come to know has an extraordinary heart. He loves his wife, he loves his children and he has absolutely no hesitation in showing that affection openly.

2. Romney was heard later to say: 'Yes I remember that day, the sun was
shinning, just a nice day and I was talking to his kids because they had more on the ball than their dad. And he just sat there filling his face with pork rinds and beer. No sense talking to him with his mouth always full.'

3. I don't think Mittens kissing a $100 bill counts as "affection"
