Not all Republicans can be considered 'Anti-Federalists' and the definition of Anti-Federalists, in terms of how it was originally meant - cannot be fine by any politician today. The basic principle of Anti-Federalism is that Government is better when it is smaller, and closer to the people. The logic is for example, your city government is better to do tasks than the state, and the state better than the Federal Government. Anti-Fedealists (ex: Thomas Jefferson) opposed the Federal Government having much power at all, instead the power would lie with the states. President Bush has enacted programs like no child left behind which is directly contrary to the Anti-Federalist idealogy, and arguably the Constitution gives the Federal Government no power as it relates to Education.

Why do so many historians see the election of 1932 as a transitional election?
Starting with 1860 the Republican party won most of the presidential elections. Due to mostly to a need for reform, Cleveland won two split terms, but the Republicans regained power and kept it until Wilson won first in rather a fluke when Roosevelt split the Republican vote with his third party and then won a surprising second term by promising to keep the US out of war. The republicans then regained power , but in 1932, Roosevelt convincingly defeated the incumbent Republican . After that the Democrats and went on to win the next four terms and would have won two more with Eisenhower if he had accepted their offer to run as a Democrat. Thus 1932 was a transition in American presidential politics.
