Thanks, that does clarify things. Nitpick: in paragraph 3, I assume you mean "Tyler ran on the Whig ticket...".
The Polk case still bothers me. If Tyler loathed Jacksonianism and Polk was Jackson's protege, shouldn't that make him an opposition leader? Or was Jacksonianism still ascendant despite Harrison/Tyler?
