Where Are the Giants?

The other DrC, who is my lady wife, was commenting last night that our nation doesn't seem to be producing the political "giants" it once produced. Where, she wondered, are this generation's Adamses, Washingtons, Jeffersons, Lincolns, Hamiltons, Roosevelts (either one), or Reagans? Our nation faces perilous times yet we have presented to us a group of probably talented but certainly flawed individuals from which to choose our leaders.

My reaction was a puzzled look, followed by "You're right." So I ask you, gentle readers, to nominate any current political figures who potentially are of the stature of those listed above.
