fundraisers departing Lieberman campaign at breakneck speed

[pruner]

Lieberman Defections: A number of fundraisers are joining the exodus of staffers from Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman's presidential campaign.

Fundraisers Jaclyn Brot of his New York operation and Chad Fitzgerald and Colleen McCarthy of his Washington-area operation have left, campaign spokesman Jano Cabrera confirmed.

Cabrera suggested the campaign was streamlining.

"As the campaign season begins in earnest, we are going to marshal and redeploy our resources as any other campaign will do," Cabrera said.

Others said the staff departures likely were a more ominous signal.

As the Forward reported last week, consultant Shari Yost and Mid-Atlantic fundraising director Stephanie Friedman Schneider recently departed, in an echo of an earlier staff shakeup that operatives said was an indication that Lieberman's fundraising operation is losing steam.

1. Exodus, lol!

2. OK, let me get this right

They are going to have less people raising money, so they can be more efficient?

Yeah, sure, ya bet ya. Lieberman thinks he is running in the general election. Pissing off the base, and he is floundering in the polls, and his supporters are fleeing from him. Go figure.

3. First sign of a dying campaign

Lieberman won't last through the winter.

5. He won't survive Super Tuesday

That will kill his campaign with no hope of revival. Gods know that he won't even last through Iowa or New Hampshire, forget Super Tuesday.
