In the Back of the Room
April 10, 2003--Lobbyist Tony Podesta showed up for Lieberman's announcement of endorsements from eleven congressmen.  According to a January article in the Hartford Courant, "Lieberman reportedly was close to offering a position to Tony Podesta," but some supporters were concerned about a number of clients Podesta has represented.  Podesta (not to be confused with former White House chief of staff John Podesta) is co-chairman of PodestaMattoon.
