That idea was thrown at me about year 2000. It was described as a boot camp for strategists. Don't even know if I still have the emails. Dems sure need consultants, campaign managers. You learn the ropes and pitch to candidates. How you see the world, organize, form policy, design the battle plan from flyers to recruits to jive with local organizations to gotv. Win a campaign and your next gig will pay more.
