The Star-Ledger reports that Chris Christie and some of his top political advisers met with Mitt Romney at the governor's mansion for dinner last night.
The sources described the dinner as an informal discussion without any specific talk of endorsements in New Jersey's Republican presidential primary.
.... The sources requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the meeting.
If you remember, Romney endorsed Christie over GOP foe, Steve Lonegan, in the 2009 NJ Republican gubernatorial primary.
Considering Christie's meteoric rise in grassroots conservatism, it seems strange to say it, but Lonegan was considered the more conservative of the two during the race, and when Romney made his endorsement, it was immediately seen as a bid to shore up Christie's support in a '12 presidential nomination fight.
