Republican Candidates: Abraham Lincoln

Republican Opponents Dept: The Obama camp has stepped into full campaign mode this week, trying to draw a sharper contrast between the president and his divided Republican opponents, according to CTV. "I'm thinking maybe some Lincoln will rub off on them while they're here," Obama said at the fundraiser in Chicago and obama's tart speech Friday at a fundraiser in Illinois came as Republican candidates campaigned in the Midwestern state ahead of a primary vote there Tuesday, the next major test in what has been a drawn-out and chaotic race to choose a Republican presidential nominee. Obama said the conservative field of hopefuls campaigning to take his job would do well to channel the moderation and inclusiveness of Abraham Lincoln, the nation's first Republican president who, like Obama, once represented Illinois in Congress.
