Yes. The best year of my life was spent working on a congressional campaign in FL-22. The dividends are still paying off for me, five years later.

I highly recommend finding a more local race, Congressional preferably. When you volunteer for a presidential campaign or even a gubernatorial race, you have little access to the core staff and the inner-circle.

Never volunteered, although I did edit a candidate's wikipedia page earlier this year in exchange for renumeration from a different candidate's campaign.

Well, that's of dubious legality, but unquestionable s*** baggery.
It's par for the course in politics.

ive actually consulted on large campaigns in a dozen states.

No s***? For real? Is that your profession? Was this actual consultation for pay? Inquiring minds want to know. Smiley
The world that you mentioned as "my world" in your next post is the consulting world. The firm I interned for did a lot of digital stuff (promoting tweets, etc) involving social media. I found it rather tedious and preferred to document and verify the ballot petitions that their various clients sent them.

I don't want to name my consultant's name, but he did some big league stuff in one very important and historic election. He's mentioned in several books I have (even if there is only one or two references in the index section Tongue) as well, which gives me something trivial to brag about.
