Christie: Listen to Romney; not his spokespeople

Chris Christie, after being asked about a Romney adviser who said yesterday that the individual mandate was a "penalty" -- a talking point that lined up with the Obama campaign's own spin.

"Listen, I get less concerned about what spokespeople say and more concerned about what the person who's going to be President of the United States says.

And I think sometimes we get obsessed over what different spokespeople will say. You know why they're spokespeople and not candidates -- you just saw that reason.

So Governor Romney knows what he feels about these issues."

Fox & Friends cohost Brian Kilmeade then asked Christie if he felt it was a mistake, and Christie said he wouldn't "evaluate" that.
