I ran for Town Superisor in Vestal, New York in 2002. What an experience. Thankfully I lost the election. I will never do that again. Aside from the voters, the largest amount of grief I got was from members of my own party. If you want to run, and win, here's is a tip. Never tell the voters what you think, only tell them what they want to hear, even if you don't believe in it.
