DescriptionJERSEY CITY -- Independent candidate for governor Chris Daggett today said state Republicans asked him in July to drop out and queried what kind of position he would want in a Christie administration.

He said he's still getting e-mails from voters telling him to drop out.

Daggett would not name the people making the offers, but he said he's not interested.

After months of campaigning, without the backbone of a party organization, Daggett is still struggling to reach the state's voters. Speaking at a Rotary club lunch in Jersey City, he said he was seeing the campaign through.

Daggett also said he had a call and e-mail from a Republican candidate for Massachusetts governor [Christy Mihos] who asked him to "do the honorable thing" and drop out.
