In your opinion, what was Abraham Lincoln's greatest trait. NOT necessessarily his greatest ACTION, but rather his best trait as a person, as a leader, as a president?
MIKE - I loved Team of Rivals! Funny how someone mentioned "intellect" and yet at the time at least one opinion of Lincoln was "The conduct of the republican party in this nomination is a remarkable indication of small intellect, growing smaller. They pass over... statesmen and able men, and they take up a fourth rate lecturer, who cannot speak good grammar." - New York Herald (May 19, 1860) - from Team of Rivals
