New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Monday acknowledged that Mitt Romney's campaign has endured a rough patch as of late, which could be fatal to the Republican nominee's chances — that is, if the election were held tomorrow.

“We had a bad week — if the election were going to be held tomorrow that would be a problem, but there’s a lot of ground to cover in the next 42 days,” Christie said. “I don’t think we need to overreact on this.”
