What was the most surprising thing about Franklin pierce?

The fact that he was nominated for President is one surprising thing about Pierce. He had retired from politics, actually resigning as US Senator before his term ended and was from a small state, New Hampshire and the favored candidate from New Hampshire, Levi Woodbury, died suddenly in 1851. I doubt anyone would have predicted Pierce's nomination before the convention of 1852 began.
