[edit] Transition from State office

I have removed the trivia section comprising the statement that Hobart was the only Vice Presidnet to transition directly from a State legislature to a national ofifce (which I assume is meant to mean the Presidency or Vice Presidnecy). I have done this because:

• It is unsourced;
• It is of limited utility as a claim. There have been Presidents and Vice Presidents who held no elective office beforehand - Eisenhower for example.; and
• On a more minor point, trivia sections are generally discouraged.

I also relocated the sentence regarding his status as advisor to McKinlay, to better fit the flow of the article. Euryalus 21:53, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
