Democratic Party

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.

No, he is a potato

Democratic government base their authority and legitimacy on the people of their country. If you have a King who rules by virtue of family ties or the will of God or a dictator who rules by fear and physical power over the people you do not have a democratic government.

There are many ways the people of a country can arrange their political affairs to be considered democratic, but it always starts with the people.

Democratic governments typically embrace liberty and freedom as the citizens prefer freedom to tyranny. A well educated and free population is usually a requirement of a successful democratic government as a population that is ignorant, superstitious, and fearful are frequently the target of those who would manipulate them out of their freedoms for their own gain.

Yes, but . . .

There were four parties competing for President in 1860. The Republicans and the Democrats were two, but the Southern Democrats and the Constitutional Union party also were in the mix. Lincoln and Douglas represented the Republican and Democratic Parties. John Bell and John Breckinridge were the candidates of the Constitutional Union and the Southern Democratic Parties.

These were not minor candidates. Breckinridge won eleven states (Basically the deep South) and Bell won three (The Southern border states of Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee.) Douglas, the Democrat in your question, won only one state (Missouri.)

Abraham Lincoln won eighteen States (essentially all of the states outside the South, California and Oregon -- Maryland and Delaware went to Breckinridge.

One way to look at the election; the Democratic Party split into two and there was a third party as well. Adds up to four parties competing for the Presidency in 1860.

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was elected US House of Representatives minority leader for the 113th Congress, in January 2013.
