Tim Cameron in WAPO

Our boy Tim Cameron has graduated from South Carolina politics and moved on to bigger and better things. Check this from the Washington Post:
And there is a depressing side, too. Tim Cameron, 24, the Gingrich staffer who sent out the mass e-mail bringing everyone to the bar to mingle, is now saying, “We don’t care what the electoral map looks like.” He cut his teeth on local races in South Carolina and worked on online strategy for conservative Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), but being out of power forces a different tactic.
“I’m focused more on solutions than partisanship,” Cameron says. He began working for Gingrich’s nonpartisan group last month, pushing the former House leader’s “Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less” campaign to advocate for drilling off the coast of Florida and in other domestic oil fields. Cameron sent out a ton of e-mail promoting a “Drill Now” online petition and promoted a YouTube video of Gingrich discussing his plan. The petition now has more than 43,000 signatures. That got a few nods of approval at the Top of the Hill bar.
Just think…two years ago he didn’t even know what a blog was. Ok, that’s not true. I’m just mad at all the extra work I have to do now that Tim is gone. All the while he’s chillin’ in DC bars. Thanks Tim. Appreciate it.
