    Not even close. Abraham Lincoln grew up up in poverty, Sarah Palin grew up in an upper middle class family. Abraham Lincoln was a centrist in his party, not a far-right wing advocate. Abraham Lincoln politically grew up in Illinois, same as Barack Obama, while Sarah Palin is from far away and out of touch Alaska. While Lincoln defined the original Republican party, the Republicans at that time were much closer to Democratic principles of today. Abraham Lincoln was an outstanding orator, just like Barack Obama, and completely unlike Sarah Palin. Abraham Lincoln believed in change giving freedom to blacks - Sarah Palin believes in turning back the clocks and her husband is a member of the Alaska secessionist party Abraham Lincoln was a lawyer, Sarah Palin was a beauty pageant model. Lincoln rejected organized religion, Sarah Palin is a far-right Christian.

    Maybe they had similar back rounds who knows, but in reality if they did one came out of it as a great leader and president the other a moron/idiot.

    Depends on what you mean by "similar." Both were little known outside of the local area and were not "trained" to be a Politian. Lincoln didn’t work on the state level where Sara has. He never ran for Vice and he won his first run on the national level. How ever he was mostly self educated (no college), was viewed as a person who related well with the average citizen, and spoke in a plan honest way. Some see Sara in the some light The biggest thing is, even if you don’t like her, Sara saw things in her community and then state she didn’t like and thought she could fix. Lincoln claims to never have wanted a life of service, his wife pushed him into it.
