At the Republican convention, our mouthy governor saw fit to mention Gov. Jerry Brown of California.
"California made a bad choice by going with an old retread," Christie said. "I've gotta tell you, Jerry Brown? Jerry Brown? I mean, he won the New Jersey presidential primary over Jimmy Carter when I was 14 years old."
Jerry stayed cool...but then reconsidered. He came back at Christie.
"There's nothing wrong with being a little retread," Brown told union members in a Los Angeles speech Thursday. "Not as much hair, I've slowed down a little bit, but I have to tell you, I ran three miles in 29 minutes two nights ago.
"And I hereby challenge Gov. Christie to a three-mile run, a push-up contest and a chin-up contest. And whatever he wants to bet, I have no doubt of the outcome."
MY GUESS: Christie ain't ever going to take up Jerry on his challenge.
Anybody got any pictures of Christie to add context to this story?
@Frank Apisa,
Make that weight lifting and see doesn't answer the challenge.
No fair. He would win that contest without having to lift anything.
@roger,
NJ is know for its eating contests, that would be one Christie might have an advantage -
But the hot dog eating contest usually seem to be won by a Californian

@tsarstepan,
That does look like him, but I cannot see the face so the jury is still out.
