Andrew Jackson was the first candidate of the "Democratic" Party. When he ran for re-election, he was called a "Jackass". He liked that "compliment" so much, he adopted the jackass, or donkey, as the symbol of the Democratic Party. This is according to the History Channel's series "The Presidents."
