fundraising is central, continuous and non-stop; learn to love it. or at least find real mechanisms that you can rely upon that dont drive you fucking insane.

to be honest, i'm waiting for a solid analysis of nancy pelosi's rise to power/political career. study her: regardless your political orientation, regardless your opinion of her character, she might rightfully be the most shrewd political fundraiser in modern times.

ill give you some pictures of diplomacy stuff soon; here are some more applied campaign management/business course books. a lot of these are basic/barnes and noble level, but there is still a lot of value in orienting oneself, again and again, to fundamentals. this is the most "applied" material i have--if you want more theory or histories (especially american histories) of campaign finance, i can provide some of that as well.

unfortunately, i have yet to encounter anything myself that is currently available to the public re: the full structure of political fundraising. if you can ever find a xeroxed copy, "senate strategy," the blackbook that daschle handed as his gift to obama, covers exactly this terrain. but again, this is truly a document of a type of legendary eldritch knowledge and very few have access to it (i do not, i wish i did; but i have read it).
