1. Try and get an internship

at the NATION! There are several really wonderful mags. If you are good at linguistics we need a liberal KKarl Rove!

3. A suggestion

Since you have campus organizing experience, you could try the Young Democrats of America, either their national site or your regional site may be looking for people.
http://www.yda.org/

Or if you have an interest in particular causes, check out their web sites. For instance, one of my interests is environmental causes so one of the places I could go to is the Wilderness Society site and see what they are looking for http://www.wilderness.org/AboutUs/careers.cfm?TopLevel=Careers&source=hpb

The problem with progressive causes is that everyone is so segmented that you have to do a lot of searching just to find the kind of organization in which you would like to work.
