In New Hampshire, Christie Talks Economy And Testing The Political Waters For A Presidential Run
By Mark Abrams
TRENTON, NJ (CBS) -- New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was in New Hampshire testing the presidential waters and talking about the economy.
The governor sat for a broadcast interview with a Philadelphia native who met him on the campaign trail.
Christie met with CNN's Jake Tapper for a wide-ranging interview aired on his daily program "The Lead" on Tuesday.
Tapper told Christie many pundits have written the governor's political obituary and asked Christie about his campaign plan, should he run for president.
Christie told Tapper, if he runs, the game plan is to win.
As for the pundits:
"My political obituary has been written a number of times before so, that's okay, it's something that I'm completely used to. What happens though is that each one of those people who write that obituary only have one vote. (Tapper laughs) So, I'm not worried about that."
Christie says he's been to New Hampshire and Iowa a number of times and he'll decide by the end of June whether to enter the race for the Republican nomination.
