10. I agree. Christie doesn't even help him in New Jersey.

Well, he might sway some New Jersey voters who'd see it as a way to get Christie out of the governorship a year early. But given Christie's low approval ratings, picking him wouldn't put New Jersey in play. He also wouldn't help reconcile the paleocons to the ticket, because they consider Christie a RINO.

Plus, as you say, Christie has no other electoral advantages and is the wrong temperament to be a VP.
