A Democratic-Republican....what a concept...perhaps if we had some around today, the country wouldn't be so out of tune.

Yes those Whigs are a problem. Course they pay a good share of the taxes even now. John Quincey was an ancestor. But from what I have been able to gather he was more of a Prig than a Whig.

Hey, he predicted the California election! (True, we spell it as Governator, but spellings have changed over the last hundred or so years)

I'm very sure I should not care
To fill our Gubernator's chair.
