Despite at least one call from a supporter for “some New Jersey attitude in the White House,” Christie was coy, telling ABC News “I like my New Jersey attitude right here.”

“It’s nice when people say nice things and that’s one of them, but you know it doesn’t mean anything to me other than they like what I’m doing and maybe they will vote for me today, that’s the most important thing,” Christie said at a diner in South Amboy Tuesday.

One supporter sitting at the Peterpank Diner counter Tyesdat didn’t just vote for Christie, but urged him to run for president, telling Christie, “We need some New Jersey attitude in the White House!”

Christie — a possible 2016 presidential contender — also stopped at the same restaurant in 2009 during his last election day when he went on to defeat incumbent Democratic governor Jon Corzine. Despite beating his opponent two to one in polling, Christie said he’ll “be glad when it’s over.”

“When you get to the end here you just want it to be over with so I’ll feel really good tonight when it’s all over, when everybody has voted and they start counting,” Christie said. “It’s a weird day for a candidate, it really is.”

Christie is expected to defeat Democrat Barbara Buono in Tuesday’s race for New Jersey governor.
