A campaign source told the New York Post that Christie was “high” on the vice-presidential short list but was removed when he said he would not be willing to quit his job as governor of New Jersey to run alongside Romney. He is, however, available to do the RNC’s keynote speech — and to wage his own presidential bid later.
