Ann Romney Says Mitt Would Back Chris Christie ‘100 percent’ in 2016
Declaration on CNN stokes speculation that Christie is a contender for the Republican presidential nomination



Although they might have been at odds in the past, Mitt Romney would support Chris Christie if the New Jersey Governor earned the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, according to his wife, Ann.

During an interview on CNN’s Piers Morgan Live, Ann Romney said her husband Mitt would support Christie “100 percent” if he were selected as the Republican nominee.

According to the book Double Down: Game Change 2012, the Romney campaign was often at loggerheads with the Garden State’s Governor during the run-up to the 2012 presidential election. Although Christie has not made a formal announcement concerning his 2016 plans, pundits view the widely popular governor as a leading contender for the nomination.

Has she done something noteworthy lately? I don't believe she has ever done something really wow with her life or time - other than marry Mitt.

Much interest in opinions from Democrats who lost elections, and what their opinions are

What is even worse is how come they have a voice, but they give very little airtime to those who have progressive thoughts

If they keep this up I might think the MSM is bias against liberals, and their corpora.... Er, interests lie elsewhere

Ride in on your horse like Lady Godiva, so that the Tea Party cannot hold their nose and vote for the GOP. Their vomiting will be music to my ears

Yeah,...we all know how often they're right.

They claimed 2004 was going to be Hillary vs Rudy. 2008 was going to be Obama vs Perry,..then Bachmann,...then Thompson...

Romney thinks? Does anyone really think they wouldn't support whatever Pub nominee was pushed onto the stage, no matter how teabaggy?

Ann, no one cares that you are just another lockstep Pub blathering on about who you'd support.

cultists. Who's next to pronounce their strong support, Hare Krishna?

Ann and Mittens need to put on their magic underwear, and go back to reading tablets found in someone's backyard.

And to think these clowns came within five million votes of occupying our White House.

Why is this even news? If she had said that she would back a Democrat, then it would have been newsworthy.

"Just another example of two phony conservative's war on Christians within the Republican party," said former Senator Rick Santorum, as he climbed up on his cross.
