That makes Abe Lincoln's victory all the more stunning, doesn't it?

Not really, IMO.

He got only about 40% of the popular vote, but 60% of the electoral vote.

This was made inevitable by his opponents splitting their vote up three ways.

So, you are suggesting that a 3rd party has a chance of winning. Interesting. I've been saying that all along.
