Right Wing News has the results opf another one of their blogger polls up. The results are pretty interesting: Bloggers Select The Greatest Figures In American History

My personal policy is not to overthink these things, but just to respond and see who I missed in the final results. My list was:

Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Ben Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Audie Murphy, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Martin Luther King, Thomas Edison, FDR, Albert Einstein, Neil Armstrong

In the final results, I was pleasantly surprised at how high on the list John Adams finished, as he's often one of the most under-appreciated founders. I was also pleasantly surprised that Audie Murphy at least got an honorable mention with 6 votes. I included him as a sort of distinguished "ordinary man" of great honor and duty rather than a President or leader of a movement. I'm annoyed that I left Mark Twain off my list. John also has a link to the same poll he conducted three years ago and the results are interesting to compare.
