Can I use StatCounter and Google Analytics Together in WordPress?

I have installed 2 plugins in my WordPress website to allow me to use Google Analytics and StatCounter. It looks though as if neither one gets any data from my website. I had used StatCounter exclusively until last week and it worked just fine, until I added the Google Analytics plugin. Are both scripts preventing each other from working properly?
Any Ideas on what should be done?
