The "exclusive" poll conducted for Politico which predicted the demise of Massachusetts Democrat Martha Coakley was conducted by a former staffer for ex-Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich -- a fact they seem to have buried in their story.
"No bias there," noted John Aravosis, the prominent liberal blogger who highlighted the detail late Monday.
"Nice of Politico to let us know, in the
paragraph of the story, that a pollster who is claiming that Coakley is in a "free fall" just happens to have worked for Newt Gingrich," Aravosis wrote. "Mind you, we're not talking just that he's a Republican. We're talking he worked for a rabid, no holds barred, take no prisoners Republican who would do pretty much anything to win."
