1860 all over again....Lincoln the underdog had a brokered convention....and guess who won?

Posted February 7th, 2008 by GiveMeLiberty

Though this article doesn't state it, I believe Lincoln only had 22 delegates (Someone correct me if I am wrong) going into the convention and he was the underdog......sound familiar? ......And guess who wound up winning?

This is a good example of what a brokered convention will be like. So hold on folks, we have a long road ahead......and please forget about the media and all of the crap they spew.....RP is till very much in this, BUT IT IS UP TO US TO BECOME DELEGATES!!!!!
