Race for the White House on CNN - Linda Anderson - 03-06-2016 07:12 PM 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 07:40 AM What an interesting site.

RE: Race for the White House on CNN - Linda Anderson - 03-11-2016 01:08 PM 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 09:10 PM I'm watching this on TV right now- really good so far! RE: Race for the White House on CNN - LincolnMan - 03-14-2016 08:21 AM 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 09:29 AM 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 04:55 AM And the actor who played Lincoln was probably the most handsome of the Lincoln portrayers I've seen.
