or ran a poor campaign? How? :shrug:

My city had a mayoral election last year and the incumbent lost in a nonpartisan primary. One of the two top vote getters was a woman in her 50s, a council member with a lot of experience and well qualified to be mayor. She did little campaigning and you saw very few of her yard signs. That's because she figured she had the election in the bag.

Her opponent was a 25 year old serving his first term on the city council with virtually no experience other than running his dad's refuse business. He did have a well known name in the city though. This guy campaigned his ass off and like Obama his yard signs were everywhere.

Well you can guess who surprising won and who was left making excuses.
