Christie's Show in New Hampshire

Exeter, N.H.

There was something different about the rally on Sunday for Mitt Romney at Exeter High School. The signs, buttons, and campaign stickers were emblazoned with Romney’s name, but it was clear the former governor of Massachusetts was just the opening act at his own campaign stop. The real rock star, Chris Christie, was the evening’s main event.

“Thank you, Chris Christie, for being here,” Romney began. “He’s going to tell us how to win this election Jersey-style.” The crowd of just fewer than 1,000 erupted.
