A report in the New York Post suggests that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie […] is not confident of the nominee's chances. According to unnamed sources, Romney's campaign would have insisted that Christie resign as governor in order to run for vice president, but that Christie refused because he didn't think they could win.
[…]
It isn't so unusual to hear these anonymous excuses for why someone didn't make a presidential ticket, but the timing is certainly interesting, given that Christie [was chosen to] headline his party's convention […]. Why either side would seek to undercut the team spirit just before the man [was scheduled] on TV to sing Mitt's praises is anybody's guess.

And now that he has given his speech, I think we have the answer.
Chris Christie wasn’t planning on singing the praises of Mitt Romney at the Convention – he was planning on running for president in 2016.Though it took [Christie] 17 minutes to mention the newly minted nominee by name, he said Mitt Romney would tell Americans "the hard truths" about fixing the economy and creating jobs.
[…]
[He] talked about his own biography and touted his record of busting unions and balancing the budget in New Jersey. He used the word "I" 32 times, but mentioned Mitt Romney by name only seven times.
