Going unconventional this round and putting an entire slate of candidates up.

In 1836 the Whig's ran for the first time against Van Buren who was Jackson's heir and the favorite. The Whigs decided to go the unconventional route and do 4 candidates per region: Harrison, White, Webster and Mangum. It didn't work due to their votes splitting and Van Buren running away with it. They did succeed in causing the senate to vote for the VP choice however.

Anyways this round I'm highlighting them and allowing you to have 2 choices so the whigs will have 3 candidates the next round (2 of their big hitters will have a later matchup.) I'm including Harrison because he did little in his one month. So feel free to vote for two in the poll and comment two names as well.

Happy voting..
