This comment uses the Democratic Party's nomination race from the 1924 U.S. Presidential election to develop a better understanding of Armstrong and Graefe's (2010) Biographical Index.

Forecasting devices such as a Biographical Index cannot eliminate from consideration unworthy candidates. Nonetheless, the Armstrong and Graefe scale appears to have the smallest error of competing forecasting devices.Forecasting Biographical Index Elections Democratic Party William Gibbs McAdoo
