Is Brzezinski associated with Barack's campaign?

One decides whether Obama's association with Brezinski is a significant enough drawback to cause one to cease to be pro-Obama.

You can evaluate the candidate's views separate from those of his advisors. I'd recommend that you look at Obama's proposals and speeches on foreign policy. McCain's advisors include both uber-Realists and uber-neocons; IMHO, he leans more neoconservative in his proposals and rhetoric, ie, on Russia.
