For those with money or sponsors - and who like/want/need to talk to other political junkies, staffers, or staffer-wannabes:
From June 4-6, Campaigns and Elections Magazine will be hosting "The Art of Political Campaigning: Techniques and Strategies to Win Your Upcoming Election" at the Washington Marriott. Seminars range from "The New Campaign Finance Law and How It Affects You" to "Appearing On Television - How To Look Like A Professional" to "Fund Raising On The Internet" to "Targeting Minority and Ethnic Voting Constituencies" to "Going Negative: When, Why & How" and many, many more.
I think I need that "Look Like A Professional" seminar if they include a few suggestions for the larger, older, more mature/less hair folks!
For a registration form, an agenda, and more info

And Does DU need a forum for the Kerry Prayer team to counter the (from Time Mag.) "Presidential Prayer Team," a non-profit group that claims to have 3 million supporters praying for the president and "is about to launch Pray the Vote, a national initiative that will feature half-hour radio ads, Dean-style meet-ups (called prayer parties) and a nationwide prayer rally on the eve of the election."
