I also believe that if Abraham Lincoln had married Ann Rutledge, there would have been no possibility that he would have been President of the United States.

I can agree with that David. Despite what Herndon and others may have negatively said about Mary and their marriage, Mary was the one that helped him through the setbacks, and kept the ambition alive to keep trying. From the beginning she saw something about him that others didn't see.
