The interabang, cracks Harvard University Press's monthly bulletin the Browser, "might with profit appear editorially at the end of all remarks from the political platform and the pulpit...
Barry Goldwater of Arizona (five electoral votes) won a presidential nomination, and so did Alf Landon of Kansas (nine electoral votes in 1936).
