It is fascinating that his political career could very easily not have happened. It seems that getting the 15% was really daunting in that open race and he got it by the skin of his teeth. Then, he was clearly not the favorite to win of those on the ballot.

Also interesting that even then many saw him as a potential President. It is fascinating that anyone could be described as both a potential President and a "bomb thrower". (Not to mention that he was not favored at all by the MA political elite at that point. )
