Political junkies know Mark Fabiani and Chris Lehane as ruthless Democratic spin doctors who’ll stop at nothing to take down a challenger.

The AMPTP is also bringing in a third political pro, Steve Schmidt, who worked on President Bush’s 2004 re-election and is now a close adviser to Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Whether an image makeover will help the producers remains to be seen.
