I felt the same way when I volunteered for the Ron Paul campaign. Americans are by and large a stupid and idiotic people. Most of us treat elections like a high school student council race: the most "popular" candidate who promises us the most stuff wins.

My brother was a county campaign manager for an Alabama governor a few back - republican - he told my brother who was going to be on his state cabinet etc. and agenda. the day after he won - the Governor elect got told by a big wig good ole boy at Alabama power who was going to be on his cabinet and what his agenda was going to be.And that’s how it went.

My brother didn’t even go to the big party celebrating the win. It’s all a scam

Really opened my eyes to the bullshite political world/media. The Republicans treated him like a villain, and the media ignored him.

To the OP, I’m running for state rep, and my opponent raised 130,000 (for a position that pays $52k). I’m putting $10k into my campaign. And, I think I’m going to pull it off. So, underdogs CAN win in local elections imo. They simply have to have a resonating message and a savvy campaign.
