Here is Governor Chris Christie (R – NJ) as the keynote speaker at the Republican National Convention earlier this year:
Leadership delivers. Leadership counts. Leadership matters. We have this leader for America.
We have a nominee who will tell us the truth and who will lead with conviction. And now he has a running mate who will do the same.
We have Gov. Mitt Romney and Congressman Paul Ryan, and we must make them our next president and vice president.
Mitt Romney will tell us the hard truths we need to hear to put us back on the path to growth and create good paying private sector jobs again in America. Mitt Romney will tell us the hard truths we need to hear to end the torrent of debt that is compromising our future and burying our economy.

Now contrast that with what he said on Fox News earlier this morning (follow the link for the video).
“The president was great last night,” Christie continued. “He said he would get it done. At 2 a.m., I got a call from FEMA to answer a couple of final questions and then he signed the declaration this morning. So I have to give the president great credit. He’s been on the phone with me three times in the last 24 hours. He’s been very attentive, and anything that I’ve asked for, he’s gotten to me. So, I thank the president publicly for that. He’s done — as far as I’m concerned — a great job for New Jersey.”

As someone who has been critical of Governor Christie in the past, I have to give him great credit here for his honesty and his dedication to the people of his state.
Leadership matters, indeed. I don’t think Governor Christie leaves any doubt as to who is the best leader on the ballot.
