Certifiably Insane

Mitt Romney and NJ Gov. Chris Christie (R)

The Romney campaign seems to have leaked the fact that Mitt Romney asked Chris Christie to appear with him at a rally Saturday night in Morrisville, PA. But Christie declined. This is being portrayed in GOP circles as another example of Christie’s compromised allegiance to the GOP ticket.

But isn’t this borderline certifiable on the part of the Romney camp? Can you imagine the epic crapstorm Christie would have rightly gotten if he left the state in the middle of this catastrophe to go to Pennsylvania to attend a political rally?

It’s frankly such a crazy request that it shows just how deeply Romney’s been stung by Christie’s praise of President Obama.
