"The War Over the Wonks"

The Washington Post provides an interesting list of the "national security and foreign policy advisers to the leading presidential candidates from both parties". While Hillary has garnered support from many of the Democratic establishment figures such as Albright, Holbrooke and Berger, it's interesting how many high-ranking former Administration officials now endorse Obama, including Clinton National Security Advisor Anthony Lake and Carter National Security Adbvisor Zbigniew Brzezinski. On the Republican side, the neo-cons have hedged their bets on Giuliani, while McCain has the support of the Republican Party establishment, which includes everyone from moderates like Brent Scowcroft and Colin Powell to dubious Nixonites such as Alexander Haig and Henry Kissinger.
