i'm a politics and government grad student at a pretty good school.
Just a quick post related to a discussion I saw earlier.
I've been trained as a field organiser for Hillary for President.
And though for me, mostly the focus is on id., awareness events and volunteer management, the campaign's California and national strategies have become pretty clear.
Unlike Obama's campaign, which is pulling volunteers from California into Nevada and South Carolina (and, one assumes, moving others from NY to NH, etc), Hillary's campaign is emphatic that their trained volunteers stay in California. Why?
