Rumor has it that Michael Whouley was sighted in Iowa.

Who is Michael Whouley?

"Whouley, who spent his childhood and launched his career in the Dorchester section of Boston, Massachusetts,[1][2] was a key strategist for Bill Clinton, serving as his field director during the 1992 election. Following Clinton's inauguration, Whouley became a lobbyist on behalf of pro-North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) interests. During the 1996 election, Whouley served as director of Vice Presidential operations.

Whouley was a key strategist for both Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004. Whouley helped jumpstart both Gore's and Kerry's comeback in the presidential primaries after they came close to being overtaken by Bill Bradley and Howard Dean respectively.

Whouley is regarded as one of the Democratic Party's best field strategists and as a result has earned the nickname "The Wizard". Despite this, he is fairly reclusive and very rarely does media interviews. He avoids reporters as much as possible.

On “With All Due Respect,” Mark Halperin and John Heilemann discuss the presence of Democratic operative Michael Whouley on the campaign trail in Iowa with former President Bill Clinton.

This Whouley-Ghouley I do not like. Iowans need to watch out for him.

I like John Kerry. He is a great Secretary of State.

But we might have won big with Howard Dean.

We can't let what happened to Dean happen to Bernie.
