Frank Luntz, the GOP pollster, is frightened. Very frightened. On the back cover of Clinton pollster Stanley Greenberg’s 1995 book, Middle Class Dreams, Luntz tells readers just how frightened he is of his Democratic counterpart: “Stan Greenberg scares the hell out of me. He just doesn’t have a finger on the people’s pulse; he’s got an IV injected into it. He’s the best.” Now, we find that there are even more Democrats who frighten Frank. “They scare me. [Clinton] truly has the A-team of political professionals,” he said the other week. “I have the highest degree of respect, politically speaking, for Squier, Sheinkopf, Morris, Carville and Doug Schoen. I think they are the best.” The obvious question: Would Luntz be willing to admit his ” fear” of any Republican competitor?
