Lieberman (R) Hires Rell's Pollster

The same day Rell says she's not campaigning for Schlesinger. Coincidence?

GOP pollster Neil Newhouse has also been employed by Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, and Rick Santorum, among others:

Neil has helped elect fifteen current members of Congress, four U.S. Senators and five Governors. His most notable clients include Gov. Jeb Bush (FL), Gov. M. Jodi Rell (CT), Gov. Mitt Romney (MA), Senator Rick Santorum (PA), Senator Pat Roberts (KS), Rep. Henry Hyde (IL) and Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (WV).


DeStefano and the congressional candidates must be loving this. A Joe Lieberman (R) campaign, win or lose, will kill all chances for other Democrats in the state.

And as evidenced by his client list, Newhouse has a history of working to keep Congress in Republican hands. Here's the full list of Senate and House candidates that POS has worked for, including Rob Simmons (R-CT). Not a single Democrat to be found:
