What Lincoln Would Say Were He Speaking in Springfield Today

This sir, is the death knell of the Kerry-Edwards fiasco.

My sincere thanks to you for this stroke of sheer genius.

In the words of one Dax Montana, "Just Damn!"

I think somewhere in the heavens, President Lincoln looked down apon you, and smiled. To echo Jim above....."Just Damn!"

I have on-the-ground commentary and pics from Bush's Springfield speech here, if your interested.

So let it be written, so let it be done.
Thanks.

Very well done, indeed!
I have helped propogate the word.

Alas, I fear that 10 years will not suffice, as that mid-19th-Century decade did not under the weight of Reconstruction, Carpetbaggers, and Jim Crow. While a November electoral victory is necessary for advancing the progress against Islamofacism, the booming voices and grasp of the mid-20th-century generations will continue to stretch the bounds of credibility.

Your sense of place-historical, geographical, and, not least, grammatical-is pleasing. Thank you.

Imagine Michael Moore making a "hock-u-mentary" of Lincoln's speech. Wonder what THAT would look like?
