Had he lived through his full four-year term (sparing us John Tyler's presidency), he would have been accounted perhaps the best Whig president ever to have ascended to the office.  Everything was in place for a transformational Whig agenda with the election of 1840.

How is William Henry Harrison 'conservative', and Martin Van Buren 'liberal'?  Do you have some sort of definition for these terms for antebellum America?

His biggest disaster was his choice of Vice President.
Harrison didn't choose Tyler; the Whig National Convention did.

Agreed -didn't Harrison originally approach Henry Clay with the offer, who promptly rejected it in favor of remaining in the Senate?
