Michelle Rhee, Inc. Who is helping Rhee launch her national brand?

An article also in The Washington City Paper about who's helped Michelle Rhee build StudentsFirst:

Most of the people who helped build and launch Rhee's group, and the ones running it now, already had impressive national résumés—which shows the power of the political brand she built in D.C. They include: Anita Dunn, the former White House communications director, who helped Rhee get StudentsFirst up and running and who advised Rhee at DCPS through an outside contract; Tali Stein, a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential bid, who is now vice president of development for StudentsFirst; Joe Rospars of Blue States Digital, which built Rhee's site and did the same for Barack Obama's campaign in 2008; Hari Sevugan, former Democratic National Committee spokesman, now running StudentsFirst's communications shop; and Bradley Tusk, who ran New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's 2009 re-election campaign and is now StudentsFirst's political consultant.
