A look at the people behind the people. Hillary Clinton's and Barack Obama's campaigns draw from the best consultants and strategists in the business, including the best in the public relations business. They are experts in shaping message and the media. They have ties to dirty industries including big oil and big energy.

One of Hillary Clinton's senior campaign consultants is Mark Penn, CEO of PR firm Burston Marsteller. Penn has consulted for Microsoft, Shell Oil, TXU (energy company), and industrial fishing interests - his firm, Burston Marsteller has been criticized by labor leaders for their anti-labor work.

Barack Obama's campaign team includes chief political strategist David Axelrod, along with two partners from Axelrod's firm AKP&D . Axelrod is a PR consultant who has ties to Voices for Choices (a faux grassroots, corporate interest lobbying group funded by AT&T), the nuclear industry, large media companies, and energy companies.
