Tippecanoe?
Devilstower has an interesting article on Daily Kos drawing parallels between the anti-elitist campaign of aging war hero William Henry Harrison and that of John McCain. Note that Harrison is the one who caught a cold during his inaugural speech and died a month later, leaving the country in the hands of his VP.
John Tyler (described as a "poor, miserable, despised imbecile" and given the nickname "His Accidency") took over the White House. Tyler was one of the most hated presidents of all time and was nearly impeached.
Why did we bring that up? No reason at all. Really.
Let's hope the parallel doesn't extend that far.
