I've been reading Seward: Lincoln's Indispensable Man by Walter Stahr, I'm as of now more than 200 pages in, and in one part of the chapter "Lincoln nominated Third Ballot" (page 192) It talks of why Seward couldn't have won for many reasons, those including his anti-slavery record, his pro immigrant record, and that he would unite the Democratic Party against him.

What I'm asking is, can Seward win the 1860 election even with all these chains on him?
