Certainly true.
Almost none of those currently in office were placed there by voters who possessed the conscious expectation that this bad hair, bad suit politician moving up from City Council may end up playing a more direct role in selecting POTUS, though. Most were elected for more pedestrian purposes, like getting that highway built, or getting God into our classrooms.
Having the spotlight shined on state legislatures, if nothing else, would be a good source of comedy. Molly Ivins' career covering the foibles of TX legislature is only one amusing example.
