Robert,
And far too similar to an actual, well publicized, comeback by Benjamin Disraeli much earlier.

Very true. Kind of brings up a another thing I have wondered about in thinking about this thread...if Judah Benjamin took office as President of the Confederacy in March 1869 (having won election in November 1868)and served until March 1876, Benjamin Disraeli would have been Prime Minister of Great Britain during part of that time. It would be interesting to see how those two got along.
