Changes

Christie declined to run for president in 2012, but endorsed [[Mitt Romney]] early and at a pivotal time, when Romney was struggling with [[evangelical]] statements against him.  But Christie was passed over by Romney in his selection of a candidate for Vice President, despite how Christie might attracted [[Catholic]] voters nationwide, as well as Irish and Italian American voters, and helped carry nearby [[Pennsylvania]].  Instead, Christie was picked to deliver the keynote address at the [[Republican National Convention]], and will likely be appointed as [[Attorney General]] if Romney is elected president.

Christie wanders between [[conservative]] values and [[RINO]] positions. Christie vetoes same-sex marriage bills and other socially [[liberal]] legislation. But he has nominated Supreme Court Justices who are not conservative. He pardoned a man who received an absurdly long sentence for peaceful gun possession, but Christie has also been criticized for sometimes supporting of [[gun control]]. Conservatives have also critized him for his stance on immigration reform.<ref>http://americasvoiceonline.org/blog/chris_christies_immigration_record/</ref>

On the important [[abortion]] issue, Christie is a bit of a [[PLINO]] - pro-life in name only.  Christie has occasionally espoused [[pro-life]] views, but since early 2010 he has done almost nothing for unborn children.  The [[abortion]] rate in [[New Jersey]] remains among the highest in the nation.  Still, it is unlikely that Christie would run ads in support of abortion in certain cases, as Romney did in 2012.
