You have asked a question about a momentous election that was narrowly decided. President Eisenhower had served two terms and his Vice President was Richard M. Nixon, in the 1960 US Presidential Election, Richard Nixon sought to be elevated to the Presidency. Nixon's running mate was Henry Cabot Lodge.

On the Democratic side was the young Senator from Massachusetts John F. Kennedy and wily Senate majority leader Lyndon Johnson. They won the election with 303 electoral votes to Richard Nixon's 219, but the popular vote was a narrow 112,827 in favor of Kennedy/Johnson.

you guys are cheaters but the natural rights philosophy in fact does not protect trial by jury. The natural rights philosophy is a very individualized theory, and by introducing a trial by jury you are establishing a less limited government and actually moving back towards classical republicanism.

Public policy is the framework for government action in a specific area of concern.

Public policy can come from citizen demands for action or bureaucratic processes focusing on a previously citizen identified issue.

Although the government gets blamed a lot for public policies of one sort or another the reality is that all public policy has at its core a demand from the public.

In The United States of America public policy is a result of a process of evaluation and consideration, usually by experts in the field or by persons with experience with the issues.

American public policy is a written, publicly approved document with specific outlines of the problem or issue, a course of action, a designation of a particular government agency or private enterprise with the job of carrying out the course of action and occasionally a method of evaluating progress or failure in the policy.

Certain academic professionals (your teacher, for example) might use different language and have specific items as features in mind. So be aware.

About half would be a good guess. "Registered" means different things in different states. And the United States is made up of 50 states and each one of those states has it's own laws on how parties and primaries and registration are run.

In the 2012 National Presidential Election President Barack Obama received 49% of the males voting and 56% of the females voting. But that doesn't really suggest the make-up of 'registered' Democrats because lots of people who were Republican or Independent voted for Obama in the 2012 election.

A "National Democratic Party" or a "National Republican Party" is a misnomer in many regards. Those entities are made up of the representative of all of the state political parties. And although they both maintain rules and regulations and enforce them all of the rules are a creation of what the state parties want or don't want.

Registration is a function of the state law you are in. Registration is viewed differently in each state.

The Republicans were able to take control of both houses of Congress.

Liberal Democrats was created on 1988-03-02.

The main goal of the Democratic Party is to bring up a new breed of democratic activists. This is aimed at promoting democracy in the country.

Yes, It's A Democratic State.

It can change every year. Like in 2000 New Mexico voted Democrat, but in 2004 they voted Republican. Some main states that are Democratic usually are California New York, Oregon, West Virginia, Vermont, Hawaii, Delaware, and Maryland.

If you mean 2004, it was John Kerry.

They think that monkeys have a better say in the issue, so i suggest you go ask one. Baby lizards have been said to know also but they quickly forget things, therefore its useless to even ask them. Your better off seeking out a wise baboon like the one from Lion King.

The Democratic Party is committed in protecting medicare and maintaining its solvency well into the future. That makes sense, since it was them that created Medicare back in 1965, with the support of Republican liberals and moderates. Today, there are no GOP liberals or moderates left in the House or Senate. Instead, you have extremist conservatives that have taken over the Republican Party and are intent on getting rid of Medicare. All you have to do is read Congressman Paul Ryan's Healtcare Proposal. He would give senior citizens around $15,000 in the form of a voucher for all their medical expenses and then they would have to shop around in the free market to buy private insurance. A person who is 85 and has a history of medical problems will find it impossible to find affordable insurance. It will be a nightmare for these people and would be at total injustice!!! Ryan was the GOP's point man and after finding out what this does, the leadership pulled the plug and will not allow it to get out of committee. The 2012 election is so important to the future of our country. Obama and the Democrats have been doing a great job in repairing the damage left by Bush and his cronies in 2008. We still have a lot more to do but its the Democrats that have proved to be the party of fiscal responsiblity and strong in foreign policy, like the killing of Osama Bin Laden!

The US House of Representatives is controlled by the Democratic party. The Democrats out number the Republicans by a count of 233 to 202.

Taking power away from the Republican Party was a goal of the Southern Democrats.

Dan Abrams went to Duke University (BA)Columbia University (JD)

They used the tools and rhetoric that made the Democrats successful in prior elections, especially their direct appeals to the people. They also pioneered new techniques for mobilizing voters and made an unprecedented effort to involve women in their cause.

The Northern Democratic Party was the effect of the splitting of the Democratic Party. As the North kept opposing slavery, the south got aggravated Then, the Democratic party split into the Northern and Southern Democratic Party. In the election of 1860, there were two democrats who ran. One from the south, and one from the north. Because of the Democratic party splitting, the election was won by Republican Abraham Lincoln. If the party had not split, we wouldn't have had Abraham Lincoln as our 16th president.

Most the members holding office in the government of the Confederate States were members of the Democratic Party.

In each two year election cycle one-third of the United States Senate is up for re-election as each Senator serves a six year term.

In the United States in 2012 23 Democratic seats were up for election and 10 Republican seats. (seats either held by a Democrat or Republican)

The Democrats won all of their seats back and turned two Republican seats into Democratic seats.

Two other seats were won by Independents; one of them previously a Republican seat.

There are now 55 Democratic seats and 45 Republican seats in the United States Senate as the two Independents are caucusing with the Democrats.

As of 2011, Gallup polling found that 31% of Americans identified as Democrats (tying a 23-year low), 27% as Republicans, and 40% as independents (largest in 60 years). Nevertheless, since more independents leaned to the Republicans, when including the leaners, the democrats and republicans ended up tied at 45 percent (from wikipedia)

This is straight from the Official U.S. Senate Website: "111th Congress (2009-2011) Majority Party: Democrat (57 seats) Minority Party: Republican (40 seats) Other Parties: 1 Independent; 1 Independent Democrat Total Seats: 100 Note: Minnesota's class 2 seat remains undecided. Senator Arlen Specter was reelected in 2004 as a Republican, and became a Democrat on April 30, 2009. Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut was reelected in 2006 as an independent candidate, and became an Independent Democrat. Senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont was elected in 2006 as an Independent."

Yes. In fact there have been several people in the senate/house who have been members and in the 1920's a Grand Dragon ran as president on a Republican ticket.
