I just don't think Scrimgeour should be compared to Clinton

I think Scrimgeour is more of a Lincoln type - blow off the Constitution for the Bigger Purpose.

Not to start a fight or anything ... it's definitely admirable, in a way, and certainly not an indicator of personal evil or weakness.

More of a Lincoln type

Whew! If we can get the War of Northern Aggression folks over here, this thread will go 1000+ and end up in the Smokey Backroom.

Uh oh! Careful with that! :-)

Actually, I really don't know enough about Lincoln (other than what I was taught in grade school) to really comment on that. Isn't that sad?

I think my next book should be a Lincoln biography.

I thought Scrimgeour was more of a John McCain type....liberal when it comes to gov’t dominance but conservative when it comes to the fighting of war(that’s where the heroism takes place). Also the description of him having an auror like a lion, I can definately see that in McCain. Fudge is more of the Clinton type. A blind eye to all that is going on around him(terrorism). Too worried about appearances and what his legacy will be. Dumbledore of course is Reaganesque. :)
