Political Campaign Management Applications

[Aniej]

So this might be a bit of an unusual request for a MR thread, but does anyone know of election management software that can run on Mac, I will settle for using my Dell if you only know of a windows version? I need software that allows me to set up a calendar in conjunction with resources and manage volunteers as well as help to allocate finances for different tasks. Does anyone know of some good apps that can help with this or, although not directly intended for politics, work in a similar manner? Thanks very much, you are doing your nation a service

Just a guess, but would Microsoft Project be any help at all? A lot of people use at our work, some in the Campaigns team, but that's the extent of my knowledge about it.

I actually have never tried it, it comes in Office 2004 for mac right?

is this part of powerpoint or did I just open up the wrong thing?

I think this is what Blue Velvet meant.

I would guess Project, Access, or maybe Excel would help?

Filemaker might be the way to go.

Thanks that's a pretty good option there. I would, of course, always be happy to receive any additional suggestions.
