Do you have evidence towards that? Simply because Paine was not an advocate of the British monarchy cannot point towards him being a candidate, otherwise you might as well include all 'Whigs' - in the loosest term possible - as potential writers.

The article in general is written very poorly in terms of viewpoint, a more neutral approach would help (for example, the bit about Franklin becoming a "rabid American rebel" is just ridiculous).
