Today, I interviewed with an outfit that will be doing voter turnout this fall, and needs someone to massage data and help laypeople understand how to use it. The state director says the job could continue for “the right person,” but someone close to, but not inside, the organization sounds skeptical that the outfit will continue to have funding after the election.

In any case, they hope to make a decision by the end of the week, and I may know sooner since the state office people need to make a recommendation to the national people about who goes to the next round.

If we come to a mutual agreement that I’m the right fit for the job, I will pretty much be moving into their offices and saying goodbye to my friends and family for the next 84 days. That puts a pit in my stomach. However, it’s not nearly as big as the pit in my stomach when I think about the Supreme Court justices President McCain would appoint, or what a McCain administration would do to, well, just about any issue I care about.
