Lieberman adds GOP firepower

quote[Sen. Joe Lieberman has hired a political consultant, Josh Isay, who helped Mayor Bloomberg, a Republican, get elected.

Lieberman also hired GOP pollster Neil Newhouse, who lists popular Republican Gov. Jodi Rell of Connecticut among his clients.

Lieberman, who must appeal to Republicans and unaffiliated voters to beat Democrat Ned Lamont and Republican Alan Schlesinger in November, touted the new hires as proof of his campaign's bipartisanship.

Liz Dupont-Diehl, Lamont's campaign spokeswoman, said the hirings show Lieberman just wants to "hold onto power."

Lieberman is running as an independent after losing the Democratic nomination to Lamont. ]


Why am I not surprised?
