CONCORD, N.H.—New Jersey Governor Chris Christie knows better than to attempt an extreme makeover in his bid to become the Republican presidential nominee. 

Delivering a self-assured keynote address Monday at the Concord and Merrimack County Republican parties' annual Lincoln-Reagan dinner, Christie told an audience of more than 200 people that he wouldn't change who he was in order to get elected.
