As Lloyd Sloan said in a post (in LOP-General): "The LP is bragging 
about its success over the Constitution Party.  This is somewhat like 
being the world's tallest midget."

Or to put it another way, this is important if you're grading on a 
curve.  But getting a 23 on the final is an "F" even if you're in the 
top 5% of the class, and two days, 9 hours is a lousy time in a 
marathon, even if you do take third place.

Throw in the "over the years" only makes it worse, because the LP has 
had more years in which to accumulate accomplishments like "elected a 
state legislator".  I wonder (but don't much care) how the Constitution 
Party compares to the LP at that age.   -Eric
