Indiana Political Review

but I read it. Now, I’ve heard the rhetoric, believe me, and I’ve heard the criticisms of Dr. Paul. Most of it rings hollow, frankly. Abe Lincoln, in the context of the political scene of the 1860s in this nation, was a kook, and he came across as such. This is why he won the election with a plurality. If the reports are true that Paul got a head-and-shoulders-above-the-rest call-in vote as the winner, then apparently it would stand to reason that a) there is a large segment of the population who are sick of the same old crap, and b) that the same thing as happened with Abe could happen now. Especially in light of this.
