No but he had a fairly large amount of (positive for his party's view) national news coverage regarding his policies in wisconsin and his credibility until recently wasn't marred by huge issues on national TV like some of the other candidates. rubio and jindal embarassed themselves with their SOTU responses and haven't had much good press otherwise. perry with his 2012 debate, his bizarre fascination with pretending to be smart using glasses, and a third thing i cant remember. paul is in a weird position being quasi-libertarian while trying to push the party views. christie is a trainwreck from the hugging of obama after sandy through to current events with fed investigation of the bridge poo poo. Jeb is a loving bush that also hasnt been in office for years.

like walker is a horrible candidate but its all relative when youre scraping the bottom of the barrel

As long as the times refuse to change, we're going to make a hell of a racket.
I'm subscribing to every presidential candidate on facebook, just to have an idea of what's going on from all sides, and Rand Paul's account just linked his first article attacking her support for the Iraq war. Wonder if that'll get a lot of traction this time around. It might be accidentally hilarious for Jeb Bush to try and deride Hilary for voting for war in Iraq.

My favorite Jackson quotes have to do with Calhoun, his own Vice President.

"John Calhoun, if you secede from my nation, I will secede your head from the rest of your body."

Of the several presidents who could actually behead somebody with a saber (Washington, prob. Lincoln, TR, Eisenhower) Jackson was probably the one most likely to have really done so.

I mean, probably not on a subject that was resisting, but still.

Jackson may be the only person able to prevent a war with threats of personal violence. Hell the South waited another 16 years after his death before they were sure the coast was clear for rebellion.

I'm reading a great biography of Jackson right now Andrew Jackson: His Life and Times by H.W. Brands (which is excellent by the way, surprisingly hard to find a good bio of the man) and Jackson's life is something where if you filmed it I think people would just assume you were making poo poo up. Its honestly just insane how much life the man lived.

She's running for vice-president. She's using basically every platform she has to attack Hillary Clinton, trying to show that she'd be an effective (and demographically useful) surrogate in a general who could attack Hillary in a way that other candidates couldn't.
