Here's an excerpt from an article running in South Carolina; it contains the thoughts of Professor Larry Sabato:
“There are two different types of long shots,” said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. “There are people who are clearly unqualified to be president — candidates like Ron Paul or (California congressman) Duncan Hunter on the Republican side and somebody like (Ohio congressman) Dennis Kucinich on the Democratic side.
“And then there is a second type — somebody who is clearly qualified but who is not seen as having a good chance of winning, people like (U.S. senator from Connecticut) Chris Dodd, Joe Biden and (former Wisconsin governor and Bush cabinet member) Tommy Thompson before he got out.

His take: Tommy Thompson: qualified; Ron Paul: unqualified.
