I sort of grant this, but there's layers within layers here--somebody who runs for president as a long-shot after a long career as a backbencher on the left flank of the party is in the 99th percentile, somebody who runs at age 38 after a carefully shaped trajectory is in the 99.9999th.

Yeah, that's fair, it's the Tracey Flick sort of thing. Still, on balance, I think he's done a good job.
