Former Virginia Republican gubernatorial nominee Ken Cuccinelli said Tuesday that "it makes sense" for controversy-scarred New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to step down as chairman of the Republican Governors Association.
Appearing on CNN, Cuccinelli said Christie has been tainted by the Bridge-gate traffic controversy, and "perception is reality."
"[I]t makes sense for him to step aside from that role," Cuccinelli said. "He does not serve the goals of that organization by staying its chairman."
Cuccinelli added resigning the chairmanship "doesn't mean any of the charges... are substantive or not. It doesn't matter. Perception is reality."
Cuccinelli, who last November lost a close race to Virginia's Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe, said the scandal had compromised Christie's effectiveness as the RGA chairman, but conceded it's "still relatively new."
"He may well step down... " he said. "He may get some counsel from other governors along those lines."

Cuccinelli is an idiot to think anything he says matters in this case.
He must be sniffing himself some hillary. Her current advisor did the same thing back in 2000, tie up traffic on election day, to score Gore a win.
Same old politics. Its gonna take more than this to take down Christie.
The fact that they are starting the smear campaign so early means he is a viable candidate and a threat.
Christie should resign, not because of Bridge-Gate (I could care less) but because he is a Obama butt kissing RINO.
Ron paul should lead the GOP..I agree with 4:38..a rino....
