I Could Go To the Dark Side
I'm watching the CBS Evening News for the first time in over a year. They did a special on the McCain Campaign. Because of my first internship I actually know several of the high muckety-mucks in the campaign (Rick Davis and Carla Eudy) featured in the news story. I find this extremely disturbing. If I didn't live in Korea, if I didn't know in my heart of hearts that McCain is not the better candidate, I could actually leverage my intern experience to get a job. Weird.

Wow cool, what internship was this?

The Reform Institute. It's a 503(c) founded by McCain that addresses (what at least were) his more progressive concerns like campaign and voting reform.
suck it up and get the job!
Oh I know all about the Reform Institute. They were funded pretty much entirely by large donations from companies with business before McCain's Commerce Committee while he chaired it. And it paid the salary for the McCain presidential team in the interregnum. McCain even fired Davis after one particularly embarassing/public shakedown of a company testifying before the Commerce Committee.
Not to say they haven't done good work. I'm finding the world of campaign finance non-profits is a complicated and competitive place.

Take the job and bring them down from the inside!
