More information about this article... The following comments have been left for this page: It's pretty good, and has a pretty good resource ("Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin and the Biographies) but it's not very good, lacks detail and just looks at some of the main events of his life, which don't even include his death, early life, or anything. I'd put it at the Start level.PRhyu 11:32, 16 October 2007 (UTC) (edit)

[edit] The Three Candidates???

After reading "Team of Rivals" (by Doris Kearns Goodwin), I was under the impression that there were four main candidates, Chase, Seward, Bates, and Lincoln. Isn't that true? PRhyu 14:29, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Yep. Those four plus, to a lesser extent, Cameron. I made the change.--Son of lucas (talk) 10:33, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
