Your Party ID Through the Years

[Rockefeller GOP]

I was browsing the old topics in this section and one caught my eye which asked what political party you would have been REGISTERED with throughout American history (i.e., you obviously wouldn't be forced to always vote for your nominee but people also don't usually change their registration at the drop of a hat either).  Rather than bump it, I thought I'd just make a new one.  I think mine would be pretty simple:

- Federalist until they died out
- Whig until they died out
- Republican (most likely moderate in all eras) from the 1850s on

I'm probably one of the few people here who would always be a Democrat.

Except for right now apparently, judging by your avatar!

Thanks to everyone who has (and will) post! Ya'll mean a lot to me!

Since I've been asked about my new avatar, I think this would be a good time to explain. No, the Democratic Party hasn't finally left me. I'm taking a job with the federal government; as with executive branch employees, I'm supposed to be politically neutral, at least while on duty. If I happen to be posting from work, I don't wanna be have a Democratic avatar and politician signs in my signature (Governor Long isn't around anymore, so I think my current signature will be ok!).

I guess most of my posts here are fairly neutral anyway (maps, race updates, tracking polls, etc.) but I just wanted to be sure!

Thanks for that!

Miles, even though it's most certainly not my situation politically, I respect your loyalty to your party even as it changed; I'm in a similar situation.
