While working on my district's Congressional campaign this election, I coordinated with a number of the local campaigns as well. Before this, I didn't pay particular attention to the local candidates, but now I'm quite aware of them. It also makes it that much worse knowing that the candidates I coordinated with lost to a 2004 Alan Keyes supporter (when he ran against Obama for Senate) and an anti-stem cell research, pro-life, super-Christian.

It just goes to show how ill-informed many voters are. My district voted overwhelmingly for Obama (and voted for Kerry in 2004), but in the rest of the races they re-elected crazy, sleazy, or just plain ineffectual representatives who have done little else other than take credit for the successes of others.
