Can someone help me decide if I should join a particular Presidential campaign?

I know the campaign manager of one of three most likely candidates to become president. I am not a partisan person and I do not want to alienate any of my friends, associates, or contacts who dislike this candidate.

I am doing thing partly for the experience, since I am 24, underemployed, though lucky enough to know a campaign manager well enough to get at least a minor role that no local party branch could offer a recent college graduate. But I am also doing this to meet interesting and exciting people who may even some day open up some doors in the future.

Should I take advantage of this given the risks of disapproving this in the future? What if I develop a good connection with one of my Senators and they are of the opposite party?

    No one is going to remember if you campaigned for an opponent last year. Unless you tell them.

    If your friends, associates, or contacts are alienated over who you campaign with they were not open minded enough to matter anyway.

    If you want to meet exciting people go with Ron Paul that bunch has ENTHUSIASM.

    Go with one of the others if you just don't care .

    Good luck !

    Go for it. Don't care about people disapproving of it in the future (see http://xkcd.com/137). And if your friends dislike you for your politics, are they actually your friends? I'm a liberal and I have conservative friends. In fact, the only girl I've ever kissed was a hardcore conservative. And, even if you do lose a couple friends, you'll make more on the campaign trail.
