In a bit of unexpected good news, the voters of Jackson County, Missouri,
rejected the appeal of their county executive and sundry other right-thinking people and voted overwhelmingly to keep in place statues of a gallant Andrew Jackson on horseback. The statues grace the county’s two courthouses, one in Kansas City, the other in Independence.
Although Joe Biden carried the county with 60 percent of the vote, Andrew Jackson, the putative co-founder of Biden’s party, carried it with 72 percent. Given his 47 years as a Democratic office-holder and perennial presidential candidate, Biden may have set the all-time record for attending Jefferson-Jackson dinners, a primary fundraising tool for the party.
