Why is Abraham Lincoln so popular right now?

[Jim Garrett]

Everyone's post is right on the money. It is all that. The story of AL is America's Greek Tragedy. Humble beginnings, struggle, rise and being struck down at the apex. What's not to like. I think combine this with the fact that we now live in an age of instant self-generating media, the Lincoln story just feeds upon itself.

Plus Lincoln has a great agent.
