Who wins between two of the United States of America's tallests, Abe "the Proclomator" Lincoln or George "The Vernen" Washington?

Discuss. Please. For the love of all little creatures, wings or not.

I went with Georgie Boy. He had the class to know when to leave.
Abe...they had to shoot him to make him get out.

Lincoln was frail. I don't think he had hops.

Abe wrote the Emancipation Proclamation, which did not free the slaves in places his army was already in control of, just the areas outside of their control.

Surprisingly, contemporary accounts of George (18th century blogs, if you will) always described him as handsome and dashing, a good dresser and a great dancer.

Not too sure what those two things have to do with each other, but it's as much thought as I'm willing to put into anything today, and explains my vote for George.

This is true. It is said that when he attended a society party, the women would line up for the chance to dance with him, and that he was always gracious enough to oblige them all, even into the wee hours of the morning. He was also said to be quite athletic. For instance, his horsemanship skills were widely venerated.
Gee-Dub wins this one in a landslide.

So basically George Washington was a studbolt.

He "obliged them all" with dancing? Dayyyyymn. I bet Martha slapped the ever living shit out of him on more than one occassion.
