Zachary Taylor, a Kentuckian and officer in the Indian Wars, joins Madison’s faction. (@Brooski plays Z. Taylor, a Liberal form Kentucky with 2M/0 and 0 votes.)

@Cuthbert@Panzeh, hold up for a minute, I need to distribute influence. 1 to each faction. 1 to Hamilton and Madison as party leaders. 1 to Hamilton and Burr for special abilities. @Cuthbert, do you still pass?
Polk is true to his nickname, the Napoleon of the Stump. He gives a rousing speech in his native Tennessee that gets reprinted in all the largest papers. (Polk rolls a 6, nailing it on the first attempt.)
