Abraham Lincoln may have only served one term in the House of Representatives, but he had signed the Declaration of Independence (as Martin Luther King, Jr.'s daughter pointed out).

A woman from Concerned Women for America was on C-SPAN this morning. She said they don't endorse anyone for President but were happy with a lot of the candidates running this year on the Republican side. She seemed to think that Sarah Palin would enter the race.

What name did he sign it under? And what did he do with the time machine he must have used to go back to 1776?

She was probably referring to the Emancipation Proclamation, which he did sign. After he was President. So, that wouldn't be an accomplishment for him to run on before he was President.

Abraham Lincoln's history previous to being President is comparable to Michelle Bachmann, but he was a historical anomaly in a lot of ways.
