O'Leary is getting traction for the same reason that Trump did; he's the tallest dwarf trying out for a basketball team. Frankly, the slate of candidates is very poor and they are making it easy for O'Leary to come as far as he has. I wish the CPC would get past their rules and elect Ambrose as the new leader: she is growing into the LeadOpp role nicely and is the only one with any credibility.
