Who’s working the Iowa Caucuses?

Even though the Iowa Caucuses are over a year away, candidates are already hiring staffers and websites are already chronicling the exploits of these politicos–or at least posting their names. Over on TPM Cafe, there’s a rather long list of everyone ever vaguely mentioned as working for a campaign on Hotline or The Fix, unfortunately this means it is rather inaccurate (for example, Jean Hessburg is most definitely not working for Hillary Clinton, she’s running the Nevada caucuses) and rather consultant heavy.
George Washington University’s Democracy in Action also has a much smaller list as part of its attempt to chronicle the campaign. However, it does have the benefit of accuracy as well as succinct bios for those readers who always wondered what Jesse Harris majored in at college. (History and Political Science). However, judging by GWU’s efforts to chronicle Iowa staffers in the 2004 General and the 2004 Caucuses, it’s sure to become the definitive site for those just dying to know how many field organizers John Edwards has in Ottumwa and whether you need all of them to screw in a light bulb.

[…] If you’re interested at all in the behind the scenes action in the caucuses and knowing the names behind the candidates, then you better start keeping track now. Beyond the simple visits and events with candidates, the staffs work hard to get things going and to make these things work. Building off of Geraldine’s post, as well as this one at TPM Cafe, and the list provided over at GW’s Democracy in Action Iowa Caucus page, I’ll try and give you the names of the people you’re going to need to know who are working for particular candidates, both official and unofficial campaigns. Iowa Democratic Party […]
