To be honest with you Non, I found the similiarites between how McCleenan ran for the presidential election in 64 very similiar with how I suspect the Dem will run in 08.

As I recall McCleenan ran as a Democrat against Lincoln and hinted that if he won the election he would make peace with the South.

Not surprising he won in NJ, heck they made him their governor.

Gen. McClelland was a prima donna of the worst sort. He had enough men, provisions and ammo that he could have taken Richmond 3 times over, but he sat in Hampton Roads sipping wine, keeping warm fat and happy while Lincoln kept sending more troops.

John F'n Kerry did a great impression of him. Staying clean and padding the resume, putting a notch in his belt for a Pres. bid. He is a sissy like McClelland was, too.
