I'll be on a plane on the way to the US, to pursue a career in democratic politics.

I'm excited, and not a little bit scared.

wow. that was sudden. congrats! and when you do come to DC, let me know!! we'll have to meet up and argue politics and i'll show you some really cool coffeehouses and cafes. let me know when you have a phone number here, or i can just give you mine. which house district are you campaigning at??

[rincemaj]

sounds like an excellent plan! I can't believe how many people on my f-list are in or around DC!

I'm working on the race in the pennsylvania 6th district to begin with, and then after that will be moving down to DC.

whats your candidate's name?

[rincemaj]

Lois Murphy. Her website is www.loismurphy.org

haha no way. i KNEW it sounded familiar. i was going to volunteer a bit for her here in dc...i still might, if i find some time.

[rincemaj]

small world, eh?

silly question though, given that she isn't an incumbent, what work would you do for her in DC? fundraising?

[infinitely_]

why does it matter if shes not an incumbent? if shes got a shot, the DNC/DCCC/DSCC would be behind her. here in dc we go to the DCCC for phone banking to local constituents.

ah right. I forgot about the phonebanking! :)
