The Great Shuffle
Stacking the Deck
Well, it's holiday time and in DC that means a slew of really great Christmas/Holiday parties around town. At happy hour the other day the big topic of conversation was who got invited to the White House Christmas Party. (Sadly for Laura and George they have something like five parties; White House Staff, Congressional Staff, DC insiders, etc.). Not surprisingly, Elephant wasn't on this year's list. But also, in this post election season, the mass migration of staffers is under way. Friends shifting from Senate or House offices to Committees, people leaving the administration for plum lobbying jobs. If you're looking to send out resumes or land a job with a committee or association, now is a good time to be sending your resume.
