An email circulated to New Jersey supporters of President Barack Obama is asking residents to "tell the truth" about Gov. Chris Christie, in anticipation of presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's possible VP nod to the New Jersey governor.
The email, sent Wednesday morning by Jackie Cornell-Bechelli, New Jersey State Director of Obama for America, points its recipients to a website, where supporters can fill out a form detailing "what you think people need to know about Chris Christie."
Christie has repeatedly waved off rumors that he would accept a vice-presidential nomination from Romney.
On July 16 in Manasquan, Christie said he does not expect to be Romney's pick for vice president.
"Hopefully (Romney) picks a smart, well-qualified person who's ready to be president and ready to support him as president," Christie said in Manasquan. "Who that's going to be? I don't know. I assume we're going to hear relatively soon what his decision is."
The Obama-Biden website is asking New Jersey resident to "share the facts" about Christie with the rest of America, who may not know the governor as well.
With the Republican National Convention two weeks away, Romney has kept the buzz about his potential vice president alive. According to NJ.com, there is also speculation Romney will announce Christie as the keynote speaker of this year's RNC.

Christie is obviously for Obama. If Romney wins, he will be up for re-election in 2016. If Obama wins, Christie can run for President in 2016. Don't let him fool you. He is only interested in himself. Why do you think he handled Obama's trip to New Jersey the way he did? Why do you think the first 30 minutes of his speech at the Republican Convention was about himself? He is a power hungry, bully who only has his own agenda. Many of the things he has said to people would have gotten him suspended from school for bullying if he were a student. I don't trust him AT ALL.
