James Polk is my 2nd favorite President, right behind Andrew Jackson. Our country would be smaller in size today without these men. Hard to believe that they were both Democrats from TN. If alive, they would probably immediately challenge the idiot Gore to a duel.

Duels were only done by social equals.
Gore would rate just a harsh caning.
