Who would win in a 12-Round Boxing Match? Washington or Lincoln?
Both tall, both with substantial reach, both with a history of bouncing back off the ropes to secure victory.
I got to give the edge to Washington though. I think he was a little stronger physically and was just a tad "meaner."
They go the distance. Washington wins by unanimous decision.

Lincoln was reknown for his physical strength. (Ol'Railsplitter) One shot landed to George's jaw, and pain from his bad teeth would render him as harmless as a kitten.

I think Washington because he is known as the "Father of our country".

What you're saying is, George Washington is Lincoln's daddy, right? ;)

We had a defendant named "George Washington" in DV court yesterday morning. When he answered the calendar call, the judge wished him a happy birthday.

I voted other because I think Windsor would beat the crap out of both of them just to win a shot at EJ for posting yet another poll. For the record, my money is on Windsor in that fight.

I thought so. Most people in the courtroom didn't get the reference.

It's even nicer when the judge knows the law. Yesterday was a very good day in court.

Oh, I didn't think to pull the shuck to look. That would have been stellar!
