Post 1960 works I rate "must reads" . . . Kuhn/Structure of Scientific Revolutions; Foucault/Discipline and Punish; Lyotard/Post-Modern Condition; MacIntyre/After Virtue; Gunnell/Alienation of Political Theory.

I think your chances are very good. For one thing, it doesn't sound to me like you are intending to be a "rat choice" numberhead, so I wouldn't worry about your quantitative background. There are plenty of programs where more qualitative research would fit in nicely. And maybe you are a math wiz and just haven't taken the sort of courses that would apply to doing statistical poli sci research. Programs usually offer a "methods" course or course sequence so you could simply take one of those if number crunching is actually what you want to do (though I do not sense that).

If you are thinking of specializing in ancient political theory do you have any background in ancient Greek? Political theory is highly parasitic on philosophic claims of varying sorts. Had I known this when I began college I would have switched to philosophy and studied political philosophy. As it is my most recent book's shelving code is "Classical Studies/Cultural Studies" and my publisher forgot to bring the book to APSA (they brought it to APA, go figure)! But I had a spare copy *grin* and they displayed it throughout the conference. And to just confuse matters more people classify my research as "semiotics/literary theory" and I've taught philosophy courses!
