21. Christie adviser: Report that Christie thinks Romney may lose is 'crazy,' 'inaccurate'

August 27, 2012 NJ.com: ..."From my perspective, the story is inaccurate," Bill Palatucci, Christie's closest adviser, said. Palatucci called it "crazy" to suggest that Christie feared Romney would lose. "He's going everywhere for the guy, and I read the polls, and it's extremely tight," he said.

Palatucci declined to comment on whether Christie refused to step down as governor to join the Romney ticket, saying those questions are better directed at the Romney campaign.

On Fox News "Fox and Friends," a spokesman for the Romney campaign said he had just gotten off the phone with Christie, who denied the story. Senior Strategist Russ Schriefer said Christie "said it's totally not true."

A Christie source wouldn't know, and a Romney source would confess to such a thing? Uh-huh...
