Interesting post. However, they don't mention the incumbent in 1864. While you and I know who that was, many people may not.

Good eye,I did not notice that.
A clue for those who don't know who that incumbent was,he's the guy on the nickel.
I would have said 5 dollar bill,but according to the democRATS people haven't seen that large amount of money in a long time.
Of course the challenger was a disgruntled,feckless ex-general.

Even more relevant is the opponent in 1864.

While you and I know who that was, many people may not. I have a feeling that people who read National Review, know who it was and could even tell you that he too ran against an ankle-biting opposition party that relied entirely on racist, class warfare tactics even then and whose nominee was a very bitter and egotistical failed 4-star General.
The People magazine folks don't read NR.
