Bruce Reed is a longtime supporter of John Edwards.

Those of you claiming he is a Kerry advisor, please provide proof that he switched and when, because I haven't seen it.

"The division in the party over Dean is less about ideology than about power. Three years after Bill Clinton left office, he and Hillary still control what remains of a Democratic establishment. Terry McAuliffe, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), was installed by Clinton. Most of the powerful new fund-raising groups, known as 527s, and the new think tanks, such as the Center for American Progress, are run by the best and brightest of the Clinton administration. As "National Journal" noted in a detailed look at what it called "Hillary Inc.," the senator's network of fund-raising organizations "has begun to assume a quasi-party status." And some of the best Clinton talent is heavily invested in non-Dean campaigns, especially Joe Lieberman's (Mandy Grunwald and Mark Penn), John Edwards's (Bruce Reed), and Wesley Clark's (Bruce Lindsey, Eli Segal, and Mickey Kantor).

4. Bruce Reed is, of course, the President of the DLC. Let's not forget that.

Al From, founder and Chairman of the DLC, was Lieberman's guy, by the way.

9. In fairness to Reed, he was a part of Clinton's domestic team and

was generally fairly liberal in his approach.

I think he may have just spoken awkwardly at times.

5. Bruce Reed, helped Edwards draft plan on Heath Care

<<It is no coincidence that Edwards sought a centrist solution: Bruce Reed, head of the Democratic Leadership Council and former Clinton aide, helped write the plan, while Wendy Button, who recently left the staff of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), wrote his speech. Edwards, who talks to Bill Clinton frequently about his speeches and political strategy, is clearly emulating the former president in both style and substance. The health care proposal fits nicely into that "New Democrat" mold, said Reed. "And if we are going to enact a health care plan, it has to be one we can afford." >>

On a side note, I thought I read somewhere Bruce Reed also advised Wes Clark.

6. I have nothing against Bruce reed or Edwards, btw...I like them both.

They both have good credentials. But, I'm not going to let some folks slam Kerry with disinfo.
