Why don’t you apply? I’ve been reading your blog for a while and you definitely seem passionate about the convention.
Here, here! Matt for DOC!
Thanks, but I like and need my current day job.
Curious if this is real vs. the DNCC just going through the motions, knowing that the real job is going to go to Blue State Digital, the existing DNC contractor who certainly must think they’ll be doing this work…
what’s your day job matt?
are there other blogs you write that I should be checking daily too?!
No, I don’t blog anywhere else. It’s hard just to find the time to do posts here. As for my day job, I’m an engineer for a communications company.
