I don't especially care whether he smokes or not. What hubris makes a man think that he can be President of the United States when less than three years ago he was arguing water rights (or somesuch) before the Illinois State Legislature?

FWIW, Lincoln was elected President after a short career in the Illinois legislature, followed by one term in the US House of Representatives, followed by a failed run for US Senate.
