[edit] North Carolina Connection

The VP nominees of the two major parties were both born in North Carolina. Wm. R.D. King served in Congress from the southeast part of the state 1811-1816. Wm A Graham was Fillmore's Secretary of the Navy and a former NC Governor (1845-1849). Chronicler3 20:43, 8 February 2006 (UTC) Chronicler3

[edit] Daniel Webster Campaign

Daniel Webster was the nominee of two different parties in 1852. After Scott won the nomination at the Whig Party National Convention, Fillmore's supporters started "Union" tickets of presidential electors. These Union Electors received votes in GA, MA, NY, and NC and possibly other states. In these four states, Webster received 6,995 votes. "Ohio Elects the President" (Mansfield OH: Bookmasters, Inc., 2000), p. 33.

Webster was also nominated by the Native American Party at its national convention in Trenton on 7/5-6/1852. That party's Electors were pledged to him until his death on 10/24/1852 just before the election. The NAP national committee substituted Jacob Broome of PA for President on 10/27/1852. Broome received 2,566 votes. "Ohio Elects the President", op. cit., p. 33. Chronicler3 20:43, 8 February 2006 (UTC) Chronicler3
