Help Wanted

By Marcella Bombardieri, Globe Staff

News reports have said that the Hillary Clinton campaign is adding up to 100 additional staffers, which would almost double her presence in the first caucus state. Iowa is probably the toughest test for the New York senator, who is far ahead in New Hampshire and in national polls, but basically neck and neck with Barack Obama and John Edwards in Iowa.

Apparently, political muscle is easier to find amidst the office buildings of Washington than the cornfields of Iowa; Clinton's upcoming job fairs are at campaign headquarters in Arlington, Virginia.

And the job ad is on craigslist.

"Ready for Change? Join Hillary Clinton’s Team in Iowa," it reads. "Positions in Iowa will begin immediately."
