He was not a political loser, as has been suggested. It bothers me to see the great Lincoln's name dragged through the mud based on an old wives tale. How anyone could think that our greatest President never won an election, before winning a national election at a divisive time in our nation's history is nothing short of preposterous and ignorant.<br /><br />Abraham Lincoln (born 1809)<br />1832 Illinois General Assembly, lost<br />1834 Illinois General Assembly, WON, served 4 terms<br />1846 US House of Representative, WON<br />1854 Illinois House of Rep., WON but declined<br />1854 US Senate, lost (not a popular vote election)<br />1856 Republican convention, came in second for Vice Presidential nomination<br />1858 US Senate, lost to Stephen Douglas (not a popular vote election)<br />1860 President, WON & reelected in 1864<br /><br />http://showcase.netins.net/web/creative/lincoln/education/polbrief.htmAbe Lincoln admirernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-90407050337481555472010-02-28T09:43:14.517-05:002010-02-28T09:43:14.517-05:00What is the source of this information?

At this point, the Dems would be better off not contesting the race than running Orloski. Plus, I heard that he just had a grandson. Isn't Orloski a big family man?
