If a Democrat ousts U.S. President George W. Bush in November’s election, what would the nation’s new foreign policy look like? Take a glance back to the Clinton White House for a clue.

Top hands from former President Bill Clinton’s ship stand out among the leading candidates’ foreign-policy advisors. According to the names FP obtained from several campaigns, former U.S. National Security Advisor Sandy Berger is one of the most prominent gurus, simultaneously advising four candidates. FP_ART

Some presidential hopefuls, such as retired Gen. Wesley Clark, whose campaign struggled to provide the names of even three advisors, seem to prefer keeping their kitchen cabinets small. Sen. John Kerry, on the other hand, coughed up more than a dozen names, many of whom are regional experts who meet weekly in what one Kerry advisor calls “a mini or shadow NSC [National Security Council].”

Of course, these associations do not necessarily imply formal endorsements. See the complete list of all names released to FP by each campaign below:
