Why is Abraham Lincoln so popular right now?

It could be that we, as a nation, during this "economic depression" we are hankering back to the "old days" for strong determined leadership? Who knows.... however, I think that with the sesquicentennial of the Civil War and in a couple of years the 150th anniversary of the assassination, that there is strong interest in the Civil War....

I too, like Laurie, am a "right leaner".... HA!
