Would today’s GOP nominate Abraham Lincoln as the party’s presidential candidate?
I think not — as argued in a two-part essay at Shaun Mullen’s blog, Kiko’s House. The first part was published yesterday (May 10); the second part will be published next Sunday (May 17).
These contributions are installments in a much a larger series on Lincoln that Shaun has planned this year, the bicentennial of the great man’s birth. Check here for an index of other installments in the series, or simply search “Lincoln” at Shauns’ blog.
I also want to extend a note of thanks to Shaun for inviting me to contribute to this series. I learned a hell of a lot in the preparatory research.
