Race for the White House on CNN - Linda Anderson - 03-06-2016 This is a new six-part series. Tonight is Nixon vs. Kennedy. "Kevin Spacey narrates as that contest and five others are brought to life with archival footage and images, re-creations and expert commentary. The overall message is that there’s practically nothing new under the sun when it comes to presidential campaigns. Hyperbole, name-calling, back-room deal-making and more dot these stories, which also include (in order of broadcast) Abraham Lincoln-Stephen A. Douglas (1860), George H. W. Bush-Mike Dukakis (1988), Harry S. Truman-Thomas E. Dewey (1948), Andrew Jackson-John Quincy Adams (1824 with an 1828 rematch), and Mr. Bush-Bill Clinton (1992)." http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/06/arts/television/cnns-race-for-the-white-house-provides-heated-moments-of-campaigns-past.html?_r=0 http://www.cnn.com/shows/race-for-the-white-house RE: Race for the White House on CNN - Gene C - 03-07-2016 What an interesting site.

RE: Race for the White House on CNN - Linda Anderson - 03-11-2016 Lincoln vs. Douglas will be shown on March 13. Here are "5 surprising facts about Abraham Lincoln." http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/11/politics/five-things-abraham-lincoln/index.html The link to Eric Foner's NPR interview, "Lincoln's Evolving Thoughts On Slavery, And Freedom" is interesting. The interview is about Foner's book, THE FIERY TRIAL: ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND AMERICAN SLAVERY http://www.npr.org/2010/10/11/130489804/lincolns-evolving-thoughts-on-slavery-and-freedom RE: Race for the White House on CNN - LincolnMan - 03-13-2016 I'm watching this on TV right now- really good so far! RE: Race for the White House on CNN - LincolnMan - 03-14-2016 I'm sure we are all aware that Lincoln engaged in ethically questionable activites (as was brought out in the CCN) program last night. My wife wasn't, however. She asked me: how can he be called "honest Abe?" RE: Race for the White House on CNN - RJNorton - 03-14-2016 Interesting show. I thought the gentleman who played David Davis looked just like him! RE: Race for the White House on CNN - LincolnMan - 03-15-2016 And the actor who played Lincoln was probably the most handsome of the Lincoln portrayers I've seen.
