Show us your Lincoln collectables!

I have to agree with your political assessment of LBJ and JFK, Joe. Despite my being of the Camelot generation and being enchanted with his wife and children, I'm one of those who also questioned whether or not JFK would have been elected to a second term. The only true grit that he had going for him, IMO, is his facing down the Cuban missile crisis.

I said earlier on this post that Johnson knew where the skeletons and scandals were and used them as bargaining chips. Years of experience and those types of skills are what make good leaders in my opinion. I would definitely move him up on the presidential scale.
