Summary
Not many people vote in city council elections—fact.
Not many people vote for names they don’t recognize, and they have a higher chance of recognizing an incumbent’s name than a challenger’s—fact. It’s only impressive to canvas for a campaign if the guy you’re canvassing for is elected—fact.
Canvassing on a successful campaign will show Padmé Amidala that they share similar interests and that will be enough to win her over once the semester ends and she’s no longer Anakin's TA—hypothesis.
So Obi-Wan Kenobi was a safe choice. A stellar choice.
or, in a desperate bid to impress his political science TA, college student Anakin Skywalker decides to throw his hat into the ring and canvas for Obi-Wan Kenobi's re-election campaign. Too bad Obi-Wan Kenobi has zero interest in actually being elected again.
