Found this story on the birth of modern political campaigns among a U.S. News cover package on great moments in elections. The campaign between William Henry Harrison and Martin Van Buren helped popularize the campaign song ("Tippecanoe and Tyler Too"), the universal affirmation "O.K." the phrase "booze" and the "party platform." Wikipedia offers a refresher on Harrison's 31 total days in office.
