No better than Bush
Last week I said essentially the same thing as MSNBC military analyst Jack Jacobs says now:
Politicians rely heavily, on almost every subject, on advisors to get them educated and keep them current. And nobody really expects Obama or Clinton or even McCain, who was a Navy aviator, to know anything about ground combat. But one does expect the candidate to employ advisors who know what they are talking about and to prevent their candidate from embarrassment.
While Obama has attracted money, notoriety and delegates, he has yet to attract military advisers who know what they are doing. If he doesn’t, and he becomes president, the United States won’t fare any better than it has for the past eight years.
Again, I urge Obama to lure Phil Carter to his team.

I agree with your premise, although I don’t know much about Phil Carter specifically.
Do you know of a resource that lists the official (and semi-official) advisers of each candidate? I think it would be interesting to know for all three.
