I read the part about the nomination of Lincoln by the GOP, it's rarely in other books in any length or depth It sounds like it was a pretty haphazard process (unlike today's managed events), especially since it was only the GOP's 2nd convention. It sounds like Lincoln might have won by stacking the audience (by printing duplicate tickets), and of course, he had the home field advantage.
