The job would provide good experience, especially if want a career in politics, with the government, or as a lobbyist.

But yeah, there are a lot of farmers and old-time towns up there. So I'd get to meet some "regular folks."

You are whatever you get paid to be.

So you'll be a democrat campaign worker, in jpress/brooks brothers, working upstate. Good luck with that. Don't go out at night.

They will welcome me as the savvy and suave campaign strategist, pulled from Albany's halls of power to crush the Republican opposition.

Do it Conne, you'll gain experience that'll make you worth your weight in gold. If you can delivery the voats, you'll always be needed by somebody (not to mention Princeton Law will love you!).

But it requires going to the northern reaches of the Great State of New York, far from the comfort of suburbia.

Aw, poor baby.

I'm anxious about leaving the creature comforts of home but it's about time I man up and do something by myself. Going downtown to meet with the campaign manager tomorrow, I think I'll be signing on to the team.

so, mikey, when you take a job with a sort of public aspect to it, will you have to curtail your posts here? It would be horrible if some wag were to find your StyleForvm persona, make it known to your employer (or the opposing candidate) and have it cause a problem.

Hold off conne!

I know a rich old lady down here in Texas that's about to kick the bucket.

She's a dead ringer for Bea Arthur and wants a young stud ( that keeps me out

This could be your chance of a lifetime. Forget the politics silliness. There's only one BO and it's not you.
