Jefferson was arguably the most brilliant man to serve as president, but his presidency was not nearly in the same class. Part of this unfortunate result was due to the political side effects of the almost laughably screwy election of 1800 (the Florida fiasco in 2000 had nothing on 1800), which poisoned the political waters for at least his first term.
