Republican Rob Simmons, the on-again, off-again candidate for U.S. Senate, tells Dennis House that he was encourage to restart his stalled campaign by the likes of Lowell Weicker and Ann Coulter.
It's curious that Simmons would listen to Weicker. After all, the former governor was an outspoken advocate for the health care bill and unabashed supporter of Chris Dodd.
But more interesting that the question of who's whispering in Simmons ear is the matter of who isn't. None of his former staff appear to have had a hand in his new TV commercial public service announcement. Not former campaign manager Jim Barnett, who's now consulting for gubernatorial candidate Michael Fedele as well as Republican candidates in Delaware. Not Jim Conroy, Barnett's one-time assistant, who's running the Fedele campaign.
Also opting out of Simmons the Sequel is his former pollster Neil Newhouse.
Perhaps, unlike Weicker and Ann Coulter, they don't agree with the former congressman's decision.
