So, party leaders thought that if any Whig could be elected president, it was Winfield Scott. General Scott quickly accepted the nomination and began campaigning. It did not take long for the public to realize that General Scott really liked General Scott! His speeches were full of praise for himself. 所以,辉格党领导人认为,如果辉格党中有谁能够当选总统,那一定非斯科特莫属.斯科特将军很快接受了提名并开始竞选.没多久公众就意识到,斯科特将军非常自大!他的讲话满是对自己的赞誉.
