Republican gubernatorial candidate Christopher Christie is starting to flex his conservative credentials and endorsements, so he's using surrogates to drive that message home.  Republicans began received robo calls today with a message recorded by former Jersey City Mayor Bret Schundler, who was the darling of conservative Republicans when he won the 2001 gubernatorial primary. 

"I know a conservative when I see one," Schundler says.  "And that's why I've decided to endorse Chris Christie for Governor."   Schundler touts Christie as someone who will fight for "conservative values in Trenton" and touts Christie's economic plan, including his record of saving tax dollars by "taking down corporate criminals and busting corrupt politicians."
