Thanks for replying. Though I've never worked on a campaign, I imagine that it's a slightly different animal. And without knowing which project you worked on I'd guess similarly. That said, experience in either would probably expose you to the pervasive paternalism and disdain for the "general public" permeating through (most forms of) American gov't. Ironically, my observation is that gov't employment is often less about knowledge/expertise and more about friendsies, patronage/quotas and malleability/docility. @ this point, I'm not convinced that the current state of affairs doesn't reflect the complicity of "the people" (who are constantly reminded to aim for "middle-class" (mediocrity)). Since we'd be working with the same public, changing the # of parties would still likely yield the same result. And I say that as someone who regularly votes on positions not parties or candidates (and is often criticized for doing so).
