Lieberman and Hillary: Connected At The Pollster

I just had a thougth: Lieberman and Hillary have the same pollster, a guy named Mark Penn. The little conspiratorial elf in my brain says that Penn has numbers the Lieberman campaign is not making public, numbers so bad they were the impetus for Lieberman's announcement that he would not run as an independent if he lost the primary by more than 10 points-- as I've said, it's an easy way to get out of an absurd 3-way race. Also, Penn worked for Clinton first and will presumably work for her Senate and possible Presidential runs. I am guessing he sent her the numbers that prompted her Johnny Come Lately call for Rumsfeld's resignation.

Just a thought.
