Lincoln. My ancestors include five men--brothers--who fought for the Union, including one wounded at Gettysburg. Their father was a staunch Democrat until that party began to (in the words of a family history book) "espouse the evil of slavery." I'd have been proud to be among such men.

Otb, political board, and stormfront... only here will you get down voted for saying you'd vote for Lincoln.

I'm a liberal so I would have voted for Republican Lincoln in 1860 and voted for Democrats JFK and LBJ in 1960 and 1964.

Apparently, fighting to preserve the Union and abolish human bondage is downright un-American to some folks.

Lincoln. The parties have done a complete 180 though.

I hail from Ohio and many of my ancestors also fought for the Union.

The correct answer is Myra (Myron if you are a fan of TAMU or MU)
Myra Breckinridge (if you old enough to remember her)
Myron Breckinridge
For those who never saw this, here is some of the cast
Raquel Welch, for those over 60
Mae West, for those over 80
Farrah Fawcett, for those over 40
Kathleen Freeman, (Sister Mary Stigmata a.k.a. The Penguin) from Blues Brothers
Toni Basil, for those who liked the cheerleader in the Mickey video from MTV / VH1
As for the men in the film, you may know some of these folks
Rex Reed from the 70's version of Superman
John Huston from Missouri and if you don't know him, you are un-American
Roger C. Carmel from many films but Harry Mudd on the original Star Trek
George Furth the milquetoast character actor in movies like Blazing Saddles
Calvin Lockhart for Let's Do It Again, but kids may know him as King Willie in Predator 2
Jim Backus, probably best known as Mr Howell on Gilligans Island
John Carradine, old actor but you probably watched 1 of his 5 sons in movies
Andy Devine, well known character actor (400 films) like Walter Brennan and Slim Pickens
Grady Sutton, an old silent tim actor
B.S. Pully, an old blue comedian when blue laws still ruled the land
Monte Landis, Scottish actor from the old The Monkees show, and some 80's movies
Tom Selleck, from Magnum PI and other stuff
Dan Hedaya from Clueless and Usual Suspects among others
William Hopper, best know as Paul Drake from the old Perry Mason series
This is one of those movies that just had all kinds of names (and those who would become names) in the cast even tho it was not well received by the critics.

Well, to be fair, Lincoln was not an abolitionist in 1860. He was a union preservationist. I believe he said words to the effect that if he thought by freeing all of the slaves would save the Union he would do that. If freeing none of the slaves would save the Union he would also do that. Lincoln didn't change his views on Emancipation until after he was in office.

Abolition was not part of his stated policy, correct. But he understood slavery for what it was, realized it was the cause of disunion, and promoted its extinction from 1963 until passage of the 13th Amendment.

And the election was in 1860. Your point?
