JFK?

America needs another pretty boy mediocrity who brings us to the brink of Armageddon through ill-considered foreign policies like we need a hole in the head.

Will there be a point in my life where the ability to give a great speech is viewed as less important as the ability to make a sound decision?

Anyone not voting for Lincoln is out of their mind.

I love Lincoln. That's who my vote would be for...but do you honestly think your average american would want lincoln?

McCain's fate in November will tell us if America today would want a Lincoln type President.

Remember, in 1860, Lincoln won with 39% of the vote.  In 1864, Lincoln spent the Summer months appearing to be a finished until a turnaround in the fortunes of the war saved him.  Lincon's America barely wanted Lincoln.

Whoa whoa whoa...I like McCain, but isn't it a little, 1) premature, 2) far fetched to compare him to Lincoln?

I'm simply saying that McCain's style is close to Lincoln.  Its very somber, its blood, soil, sweat, and tears stuff.
