WASHINGTON – New Jersey governor Chris Christie, who dashed many Republican hopes when he said he would not run for president in 2012, says he has not ruled out accepting a vice presidential invitation.

Mr Christie endorsed Mitt Romney shortly after announcing in early October that he would not join the group of Republicans vying for the party’s presidential nomination. He has been campaigning for the former Massachusetts governor.

The first nominating contest of the 2012 election, the Iowa caucuses, takes place on January 3rd. – (Reuters)
