That's roughly about the weight people give each one when making decisions.

The long wait before she goes in front of the press is totally calculated political strategy.
I think your rankings are correct too, but I would be willing to have more conversation about the actual values.

If by "totally calculated political strategy" you mean a "craven pandering attempt at misdirection by bulking up on pathos due to a shameful deficiency of logos", then I would be inclined to agree with you.
