the election of 1800

the election of 1800

can we get back to politics?

please?

yo. ev'ry action has its equal

opposite reaction

john adams shat the bed. i love the guy

but he's in traction

poor alexander hamilton? he is missing in action

so now i'm facing

aaron burr!

with his own faction

he's very attractive in the north

new yorkers like his chances

he's not very forthcoming on any particular stances

ask him a question: it glances off

he obfuscates

he dances

and they say i'm a francophile: at least they know i know where france is!

thomas that's the problem

see

they see burr as a less extreme you

ha!

you need to change course

a key endorsement might redeem you

who did you have in mind?

don't laugh

who is it?

you used to work on the same staff

whaaaat

it might be nice

it might be nice

to get hamilton on your side

it might be nice

it might be nice

to get hamilton on your side

talk less!

smile more!

don't let 'em know what you're against or what you're for!

shake hands with him!

charm her!

burr!
