The election of 1828
One of the most vitriolic elections was in 1828. John Quincy Adams was nicknamed "The Pimp" by the campaign of his opponent General Andrew Jackson, based on a rumour that he had once coerced a young woman into an affair with a Russian nobleman when he had been American ambassador to Russia. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3493277.stm |
which promptly earned him PD's vote.

Oh, I would have voted for Jackson, no doubt about it ... the whole "expanding the franchise" to allow commoners and public school graduates to vote, you know .... :ph34r:
