Failed candidates simply do not meet  per ample precedent, and I really see no reason to change that. Getting a nomination, even from a major party, isn't really enough, because if we're being honest about it at least two-thirds of these guys had no real shot at actually getting elected (do we really think United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois, 2008#District 2|this guy is notable for getting 10.6% of the vote?), and I'm probably being conservative with that stat. Besides, in general failed candidate bios are a classic case of , even if arguably the potential Lt. Governor nomination negates that in this case
