I suppose it was his turn. He had had a long career in goverment, serving as US Congressman for 10 years, as US Senator for 11 years, as as Secretary of State for Polk for four and minister to Britain. He lived in Pennsylvania, but he had family in the South. He had been considered for the nomination several times before and he finally got it.
