As a companion to the Sunday Daily News’ three-month investigation into who is advising Democratic frontrunners Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on counterterrorism, national security and foreign affairs, the Mouth of the Potomac offers a complete list of the major presidential candidates’ top wisemen on these issues.
The presidential campaigns of Democrat Christopher Dodd and Republican Fred Thompson would not disclose their advisers to the Daily News. But in the case of Thompson, our reporting yielded two names.
There also are some security experts advising multiple candidates, such as National Security Network director Rand Beers, who are not included on the master list. A former career official at the National Security Council, Beers says he is counseling Democrats Joe Biden, Dodd, Clinton and Obama.
Read the full list after the jump.
