Andrew Johnson was a desperate political move when Lincoln actually thought he had a chance of losing the 1864 election. Hannibal Hamlin was the capable and competent selection of 1860. Hamlin actually was called to and served active duty in the Maine reserves while he was the sitting vice president.
