Are Cuccinelli's advisors burning his political bridges and making fresh enemies by blasting away at Republicans whose help he might need for a comeback? Only time will tell, but it's interesting that the RGA decided to micro-manage Cuccinelli's campaign by running what the campaign considered to be politically-irrelevant ads instead of handing the money over to the perennially cash-strapped GOP candidate to spend as he saw fit.

Jindal is not a national player. Lets not waste time on someone who is at best marginally conservative

Cuccinelli and staff are correct...the RGA blew it. With ObamaCare failing, this should have been an easy win. They got little support..and did an admirable job

it is time to purge all non-conservatives from the GOP...or the base walks.

I've heard it is Rove's fault, priebus' fault and now it is Jindal's fault. But maybe, just maybe,

IT'S BUSH'S FAULT.

You can not expect republican governors to support a conservative nowdays, can you. So why bother supporting the republicans who hate conservatives. Let them make friends with the democrats. Maybe the chubby man of NJ is their man next election, and he will probable lose too. It is what it is, and it is very bad indeed.

Look how much the GOP was outspent this year by the Dems, and also how much less they invested in the race itself versus the last cycle.

Blaming the libertarians is a little naive and disingenuous, IMHO. Blame the GOP. They hung "Tea Partier" Cuccinelli out to dry when spending the additional ad money could have made a huge difference.

The GOP should never be significantly outspent by the opposition for a gubernatorial race that happens in a competitive state such as Virginia.

I understand that Jindal is also undermining the candidacy of U.S. Representative Dr. Bill Cassidy in indirect support for Mary Landrieu.

Honestly, man, blaming Bobby Jindal for this seems like extremely poor taste. He has been one of the Republicans’ netter leaders for years now in standing up to federal strongarming.

How would you tell the difference, practically? With friends like them and "help" like that .....

Which Republican Governor's stumped for Cuccinelli? I know one who did not...Krispy. He was asked and refused. I didn't hear of my Gov Perry stepping up to help, but I may have missed something.

I wondered where BOTH RNC and RGA were during the campaign.

From what I can tell from this article, the supposed "advisor for Ken Cuccinelli" remains unnamed throughout this article. It's simply a device to allow other innuendo to be reported under the imprimatur of authoritative fact.

This is a Leftist psyops hit piece.
