Lieberman Sacks Staff

Great news:

To prepare for his indie CT SEN run, Joe Lieberman asked for, and received, resignations from his entire primary campaign team (staff and consultants). In addition, Lieberman announced that his longtime state director and political aide, Sherry Brown, would takeover as campaign manager, and his former senate communications dir., Dan Gerstein, would serve in a similar role for the campaign.

The release specifically notes the campaign will be searching for a new pollster and media consultant to replace Stan Greenberg and Carter Eskew, respectively. Greenberg's partner, Al Quinlan, actually served as the principal strategist for Lieberman during the primary. As we previously reported, there has been a quiet search for a new consulting team going on for at least a week. The primary requirement: Democratic ties. The Lieberman camp does not want overt GOP ties on the vendor front.

I'm glad Lieberman fired Sean Smith, who is a loser and lost. Dan Gerstein is a perfect choice, he has the experience necessary in undermining the Democratic Party for the Connecticut for Lieberman Party to win in November.

However, I don't understand why Lieberman is discriminating against Republican firms, the GOP has better ideas and better staff. I mean, if you can't beat them, hire them.
