So, I'm having an issue at work, and I don't know if I'm blowing it out of proportion or what. Any advice would be helpful.

My team lead left at the beginning of August, leaving his position open. I've been with the state for a year and eight months. We never get raises because it all depends on funding from the legislature. This position would be a hefty raise, and I would definitely excel at the job. I've been a mentor and in management type positions since for over 14 years now (starting at age 18). I know I'm perfect for it, because I have the skills and knowledge asked for with the application.
It's an internal position, so my current boss is doing the interview. Here's the problem: the other chick I'm going against, who's been with the state for 13 years, not in leadership roles the whole time. This woman is kind of a b, and plays the office politics. She happens to be a favorite of my boss.
So, I'm afraid this interview is just a formality, and my boss is going to give it to this other lady. My job's a little different, and she's said before that she hates it, because of the research portion. Yet, this lady would be my boss. I've gotten to the point where I think I may be slightly deluded into thinking I have a chance, and I don't expect to get it anymore,
Am I being too fatalistic? I don't want to get my hopes up, only to get passed over. This same situation was one of the many reasons why I left my old job, when I was passed over for the management position in favor of someone who was buddies with the hiring manager, then was asked to train the person.
