Romney surrogate and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie stepped up the pressure on his candidate Thursday to release his tax returns and �get the stuff out there.�
�If Governor Romney asked for my advice, I would say get the stuff out there. Let people see what it is,� said Christie on CBS�s �This Morning� – the second day in a row Christie has pressed Romney on the disclosure issue.
�My view on it, though, is take the issue away,� he added. �The longer we talk about when you�re going to release tax returns shall the less time we�re spending on [our] issues.�
Meanwhile, Christie continued to defend Romney on his work at Bain Capital.
�I don�t think there�s anything to be ashamed of, that he�s been a very successful guy in the private sector and made money, builds businesses� because of Mitt�s ingenuity and his investment in companies,� said Christie. �They�re helping to restructure companies, giving them management consultation and helping to do it.�
The governor also predicted that the campaign ahead would be an extended race, regardless of the outcome in South Carolina.
