    Two different candidates (at different times) couldn’t believe I didn’t want a job “after we win” … and one of them did win and the job offer was sweet and in DC, but fortunately, I wasn’t THAT insane … (do you know the life-expectancy of junior-assistant deputy to the assistant deputy to the deputy assistant PR guy in the White House? It’s measured in nano-seconds) …

    Been there, done that – (except for the smoking and drinking parts) – once had to give a candidate a “cure” for a sore throat because I’d once worked in a hospital, so of course I had to know. another time, I got a candidate through the primary, then he figured it was smooth sailing, fired me and lost by 180 votes. And one time had the same position for two different Presidential candidates (state media & strategy coordinator) after one crapped out and self-destructed. All I had to do was change my button.
