When it gets closer to Election Day, and depending on how high-level of a client you are dealing with, you'll be putting in more hours than normal. (If you expect otherwise, politics probably isn't for you.) But it is a great experience you will rarely get elsewhere and once it's over, you will have learned a whole lot, have experience under your belt, built connections (esp. on client strategy side), and will have time to enjoy the holidays that are right around the corner after Election Day (Thanksgiving, Christmas).
