DOooooooooooOOOOOOO It!
Numbers can't be one way or the other. Ignore politics!

DON'T DO IT!
Surround yourself by like-minded people for four months and lie in a ball in a warm blanket.

Read books about adventure.

If it's only for four months, I'd do it.

Doooo eeeet! Sounds like it would make great blog fodder, hypothetically.

Go for it!!!

It sounds like a great job opportunity, plus a chance to have new experiences with new people. If you don't do that in your twenties, when will you?

No matter what the overwhelming political sentiment of the region is, you'll find sympathetic souls.

I mean, I THINK there are some Republicans in NYC somewhere.

DO IT. Hypothetically, of course. I survived a summer internship in the Hamptons, surrounded by rich older people and nothing affordable to do. It even cost $30 just to PARK AT THE BEACH. Ugh. But it was still totally worth it, and I did become friends with a couple other outsiders like me.

2008-06-19T08:13:15.220-04:00

Do it, it's only four months. It would be interesting to see other viewpoints and to live a double life for a while, plus at the end of four months you get to go home!

Do it! You will never regret it even if it is not what you expected.

2008-06-19T06:13:36.587-04:00

Why do you emphasize on "Hyyyypothetically" ??? Do you find your self in this situation? he he ;)

I would have a go for it.. As you said its just 4 months plus you have said it is a "super awesome job". 4 months is not a big deal for me...

But situations vary also people are different! Some may see it as a 4 months of ordeal; some may see it as a opportunity!

I say do it. It's only 4 months, and it would be interesting to be around people with widely different views than yours.

2008-06-19T01:10:36.970-04:00

I don't see why not. Surely the issue of politics can't come up too much in four months?

2008-06-18T22:43:47.913-04:00

by all means, take it.

exposure to extremes, especially opposite to your own POV, is crucial.

take your critical thinking skills with you and engage them, willfully dispensing your wisdom to the unwashed masses, lisa!

2008-06-18T21:34:56.028-04:00

Yes, for sure - I expect posts as good, if not better, than last year's roommate posts :)

2008-06-18T21:29:13.362-04:00

My first thought was "Eeek! No!" But I have to go with what the someone else said: it would make great blogging material. Plus, the four months will go quickly and you'll be home soon.

2008-06-18T21:04:28.632-04:00

GO!

It would be EXTREMELY lame if you didn't take a fun and interesting job because you didn't want to be around conservative people for 4 months.

And besides, hello, you've been around our mother for 21 years, som nice bible thumpers will be a pleasant distraction.

Living in that kind of environment can help strengthen the kind of liberal ideology you hold... and you can work on your arguments.

Only four months? If that's your only (hypothetical) qualm, I'd say take it! (hypothetically speaking)
