Lincoln?

Oh my god, Newt just said this administration reminds him of Lincoln. I'm listening to this forum (I think it's at MacCalester) on the future of the conservative movement, which of course is just pissing me off, but I feel it necessary to know what they're up to, what they are thinking. Vin Weber, who I used to consider somewhat tolerable, actually likes Bush. It's mystifying, because these are smart guys, but they sure aren't reading the same stuff I am. They at least aren't talking like cheerleaders and boasting that Republicans have got it all going on, "go pachyderms!." They've admitted that unless there's big change the elephants will be shown the door.
