Christie Goes On Fundraising Trip For Romney

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will be making a multi-state fundraising sweep through the South for Republican Mitt Romney this week.

Christie has stops scheduled in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina on Tuesday.

The fundraising swing continues Wednesday.

Christie has helped Romney raise $2.1 million in two New Jersey fundraisers. The pair pulled in $1.7 million in June and $400,000 during a prior event when Romney was still being challenged for the GOP nomination.

Christie has fueled speculation that he's being considered for vice president. But he's also indicated that he considers himself too blunt-spoken to be a likely choice for the presumptive GOP nominee.
