Depending on what your leanings are, you could compare his work history - lawyer, state legislator, Washington short-timer, orator - to Abraham Lincoln's, or to a thousand forgotten figures in politicalgraveyard.com.

No viable presidential candidate has emerged from a third party since Theodore Roosevelt’s bid for reelection, and the last third-party candidate to win an election was Abraham Lincoln in 1860. For the foreseeable future, every presidential election will be a contest between a Democrat and a Republican; for the United States to be fairly considered a democracy, the selection of the parties’ nominees must obey democratic principles as well.
