People knew the issues. The majority voted for Lincoln, just as the website said.

Lincoln was not a candidate on the ballot. I know of no election where a candidate not on the ballot can recieve a popular vote majority from that same ballot. Your website only says that Democrats won the legislature though Republicans won greater numbers of votes in legislative races for their respective districts. Nowhere does it say that Lincoln won the popular vote, which he physically could not have seeing that there was no popular vote for his name as a candidate on the ballot.

It was Lincoln, not Douglas who won the White House.

Uh, Walt. That was a different race two years later. Try again.

Oh. Tell me again then, how Douglas won the debates?

The debates set the stage. Lincoln was nobody before the debates. He "won" the debates in a much more tangible sense than your endorsement of Douglas' prowess shows.

What this particular weird seque shows is your perverse objection to -anything- Lincoln accomplished. You are saying a lot more about yourself than you are him.
