LOL....no...I don't see a comparison...

Stevenson, while elected governor of Illinois, lost in a landslide twice to Eisenhower and then again to Kennedy.

His strengths were in his rhetorical skills. He gave some speeches that were admired by both party's...but as a campaigner for national elections, he came off as weak. Too weak to take that sort of risk at the time, for the then totally different democrat party, or the republicans..
