Your thoughts?
 
Conclusive evidence so far: nobody likes Levi Woodbury. Poor guy.


Well aparently more people like Levi Woodbury than William Butler and Franklin Pierce put together.

I voted Butler because we america needs a man with battlefield experience as president, especially when the nation is undergoing a civil war.

How about this- Winifield Scott for prez?
