During the 1800s, a hybrid party – “Democratic-Republicans” – existed, but this group morphed into what we now call the Democratic Party. If you add these presidents (Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, and John Quincy Adams), this brings the total to 18 Democrats and 17 Republicans. Advantage, Dems. Let’s keep the ball rolling in 2008!
