Rate the Dead Presidents!

Here is your chance to see how the Dead Presidents rate, and your chance to spout off for your favorite or least favorite. Cast your vote for any of the men using the scale from negative five to positive five, with zero being "average." Look at what your fellow Dead Presidents fans have to say about each of the Chief Executives, and add your own two bits.
This is about as scientific as any other Internet poll (which means, it's not scientific at all). One vote per person per President, please (this is mildly enforced, so you shouldn't be able to make a mistake and pump someone's rating higher or lower). This is a democracy, after all. [Well, the nation is a democratic republic, but this poll is a democracy. ...With a touch of tyranny, since I will personally edit all profanity out of any comments you leave.]

Think it's fun talking about Dead Presidents? You're not alone. Check out DP's on DP's, a litany of comments about their fellows, made by the Dead Presidents themselves.
