I'm going to help a small local candidate for public office, and am wondering if there is a WP theme and plug-ns that are best suited to political campaigns?

Including: current events press releases, archive of press releases, Biography/CV, Calendar of events, money contributions, Tweeting, sign up to be part of phone bank, door-knock, rallies....

Thanks,
Wordpress is perfect for that sort of site. Just google for magazine and news wordpress themes. Here is a recent article on TripWireMagazine with their top 70 picks.

As far as plugins go, when you get to something you're trying to do and you don't see it already built in to wordpress, just google some keywords along with wordpress plugin in your search terms. In the meantime check out this article about must have plugins for a political website.

Hope that helps!
