re: #135 Alephnaught

From previous thread:

Hang on, how many Presidents of the US were not elected on the first try? The only modern version (ie post WW2) I can think of is Richard Nixon.

Going back a ways, Andrew Jackson failed on his first try at the WH.
Off the top of my head, though: Old Hickory and Tricky Dick may be it as far as that factoid goes…
