Organizing for America looking for Analysts

This is probably one of the more creative uses of Obama's massive mailing list I can think of... targeted want ads!

As we look forward to 2010, our ability to reach out to key voters, monitor our progress and effectively deploy our resources will be critical to our success in November.

I know I gave them my occupation when I gave them money, so that's probably why I was part of the mass mailing... interestingly, looking at the positions, what they're asking for is not far from my skill set, but I don't have any database experience nor much time in stats software... I'm a Matlab guy... so I guess it's a good thing I'm not interested in moving back to the D.C. area. Somebody who reads this blog might be though! Seems like campaign data would be an interesting data set to work with, especially for the politically minded geek.
