Bill Clinton's advisors are working for Biden - not Obama or Hillary!

Pres. Bill Clinton’s Key Advisers Are Now Advising Joe Biden; Turned Down Offers From Sen’s Obama & Clinton Campaigns To Get On Board With Biden For President
November 27th, 2007 by Erin Medlicott
Nov. 27: Biden For President supporters may not know this, but former President Bill Clinton’s key political and national security advisers turned down offers from several 2008 Democratic presidential candidates, including the wife of their former boss, to sign on as advisers for Democratic presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Joe Biden.

The expertise and experience of these professionals add a rich bounty to the Biden campaign treasure chest!



David Wilhelm managed Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign in 1992, served as political advisor and later became Chairman of the DNC.

According to the Washington Post, Wilhelm signed up as senior advisor to Senator Joe Biden’s presidential campaign without hesitation, choosing Biden over Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama, to whom he also has political ties.

And Antony Blinken, a former Clinton National Security official, advises him on Iraq, as reported in The New York Sun.

In addition, Biden Campaign Political Director Danny O’Brien, Deputy Campaign Manager Evan Ryan and Research Director Elizabeth Baylor have all worked in the Clinton White House. They’ve hitched their 2008 loyalties to the Biden Bandwagon.

Read more of this news in “Hillary Sees Bill’s Allies Fall Away,” in The New York Sun HERE. A July 20, 2007 article in the The Washington Post discussed Clinton advisors turning down offers from other 2008 campaigns to work with Sen. Biden; read more HERE. SEND US YOUR COMMENTS.

7. I'd LOVE to see Madeline Albright advising Biden! I'm guessing she'll endorse
Hillary (if she endorses anyone) though, which is understandable as I think there is deep mutual respect between them.

18. I doubt it - Biden's more in line with the progressive foreign policy thinkers
Edited on Tue Nov-27-07 03:42 PM by blm
while Albright is in the Clinton wing of foreign policy hawks whose tendencies have been far more protective of Bush on his decisions on terrorism and Iraq war than they showed when they were in power. Like Tony Blair, they felt 9-11 changed everything and it unleashed the more hawkish sides.

13. The difference it makes is that maybe they prefer...
a President Biden in 2009. Although, it would be interesting to see who Hillary surrounds herself with if she ends up in the WH in '09. Somehow, I don't think she'll reward anyone who didn't help her to victory, even if their knowledge and experience would be beneficial to the nation.

9. It makes a difference to Biden supporters NOW, because we're so used to
being beat up and ignored by the big guns. Let us feel good about this -- don't rain on our parade! :hi:

11. That seems like a pretty normal thing, though
There are so very many ex-Clinton staff and advisers they would be spread around and have various preferences. Obama also has a number of them. It's good for Biden, of course.

14. Hair plug needs all the help he can get
I'm sure Clinton's peeps can put lip stick all over this fuck ups past to make Hillary look even more like a viable option.

They could maybe get snappy with an ad to remind voters how much we all love the Bankruptcy. Who's got the confetti!!!! Maybe they can put window dressing on Bidens racist statements. Like his claims that black folks are stupid and bring down the schools average or that he ain't from no northeast liberals state but a genuine slave state.

Yeah, the voters across the land will love him!!!!

Biden should just quit the race now. It won't be long before he says something stupid again and his supporters have to pack up their lawn chairs. Like how Obama is the first clean and articulate African American running while Sharpton, Braun, and Jackson were all dirty and stupid.
