Christie on VP: ‘I Got This’

In funny Web video with Cory Booker.

At least there are some things Chris Christie and Cory Booker agree on. The Republican governor of New Jersey and the Democratic mayor of Newark teamed up for a Web video released on Tuesday. In the video created for the New Jersey Press Association Legislative Correspondents Club, Booker pretends to field a call from Romney where he is asked to consider a spot on Romney’s ticket. Booker says, “Yes, yes that was me running into the fire” and admits to shoveling snow. But then says he’s not a “back-up singer” and “you need a big …,” and then Christie jumps in and says, “Excuse me, Mayor, I got this.” Christie also released a video Tuesday lamenting the amount of times he’s been asked to join Romney’s ticket.
