New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Mitt Romney - who he has endorsed in the Republican presidential race - "did well" in the GOP debate Wednesday night, but blasted the performance of Rick Santorum, the former governor's chief rival, during a pair of morning show appearances Thursday.
"I don't think there was any clear knock-out winner, I think Sen. Santorum had an awful night. He gave example last night why we don't need another legislator in the white house - you know, he's talking about 'I'm a team player, it was against my principles but I voted for it,' Christie said on MSNBC.
The New Jersey governor said that Santorum's comments about No Child Left Behind - in which he defended supporting the legislation because it was a top priority of President Bush - underscored an untenable compromise.
