- Political Cartoon of Martin Van Buren on Movable Card, 1840 - Whig party supporters poked fun at Democratic President Martin Van Buren with this campaign novelty. The aristocratic-looking Van Buren appears to enjoy "White House champagne," but when the tab is pulled he cannot handle "log cabin hard cider"-- a drink associated with his opponent William Henry Harrison and the common man. The Whigs' portrayal of the incumbent as snobbish and uncaring helped elect Harrison.
