Just in time to smear a Republican hero President before the 2008 election.

I doubt it it - Lincoln is too large a figure to be considered "Republican". More likely they will try to equate today's Republicans and the war in Iraq with the Confederate leaders Lincoln had to contend with.

The Confederate leaders and the "COPPERHEADS" were for the most part democRATS.
