What, no Jindal quote?

They didn't even think to ask him.

Let it not be said that Republican presidential hopefuls aren't worried about Chris Christie.

The governor barely had time to take a victory lap before potential 2016 contenders rushed to downplay his crushing re-election victory Tuesday night, taking veiled -- but unmistakable -- swipes at the pugnacious New Jerseyan while "congratulating" him.

They went and got quotes from Ted freaking Cruz, even. But nada from Jindal.

Congratulations, also, to Jindal on yet another great job stumping for out of state candidates.

“Bobby Jindal and his political team totally blew it,” harrumphed one advisor for Ken Cuccinelli the morning after a closer-than-expected loss.

Cuccinelli, who narrowly lost last night’s gubernatorial election to Terry McAuliffe, was badly outspent in the days and weeks leading up to the election. The New York Times‘ Jonathan Martin described Cuccinelli’s plight as having been “close to abandoned at the end.” He was. As Politico’s James Hohmann reported, ”The Republican National Committee spent about $3 million on Virginia this year, compared to $9 million in the 2009.” And as the Roanoke Times noted, in 2009, the Chamber of Commerce spent $973,000 on Bob McDonnell, but “[t]his year, the chamber gave Cuccinelli nothing.”
