This morning, the National Review reports that, according to New Jersey political insiders, Chris Christie would be 'comfortable' accepting the vice-presidential nomination, should presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney offer it to him.
'Christie is open to it, his family's comfortable with it, and he's been vetted before,' one top state lawmaker reportedly told the National Review. 'He isn't going to campaign for it, but it's no secret that he would relish the opportunity to play at that level.'
Another insider suggested that Romney might hesitate to pick Christie because the New Jersey Governor's star power may steal the spotlight: 'It's like asking Joe DiMaggio if he wants to play alongside Mickey Mantle.'
Christie's name has long been speculated for the vice-presidential slot, ever since he announced last summer that he would not seek the presidential nomination. Intrade currently has Christie at a 9.0% chance of being the vice presidential pick, behind Ohio Sen. Rob Portman (16.6%) and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (18.4%).
