There have been eight presidents who have died in office. Namely:\n\nWilliam Henry Harrison (Whig), Zachary Taylor (Whig), Abraham Lincoln (GOP), James A. Garfield (GOP), William McKinley (GOP), Warren Harding (GOP), Franklin D. Roosevelt (Dem) and John F. Kennedy (Dem).\n\nSo the answer could be Whig and Democrat.

Sounds like the Whigs.\n\n\n\nEDIT: Yes, it is: William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor. Later, their VP's (John Tyler and Millard Fillmore, respectively) succeeded to the Presidency and finished out the original term.

I would say either Dick Durbin (Illinois) or Hillary Clinton (New York) or Barack Obama (Illinois)! Those three seem to be the party leaders anyway!

Republican\n\nthe Democratic party has taken on too many "fringe" organizations and has alienated people who used to vote independently.\n\nIndependents can't raise the money needed

Jimmy Carter, who defeated Ford in the 1976 Presidential election.

Theodore Roosevelt's decision to run as a progressive party candidate had a major effect of splitting the Republican party vote and represents probably the only time in American History where a third party candidate has won a significant share of the vote. I think that there is a strong likelihood that if Roosevelt had not run, Taft would have won a second term.

Before you knock the Democrats too hard, let's check some of the track records.\n\nWho was President during WWI? A Democrat. Which we helped win, by the way. Who were the Presidents in the era between WWI and the Great Depression, during the Roaring Twenties, the Al Capone/John Dillinger/Bonnie and Clyde era? Republicans. Who got us out of the Great Depression, got the country to working again? A Democrat. \n\nWho was President during WWII? A Democrat. A very strong, intelligent man. Truman was President when the Korean War started, but a Republican pulled us out of it without finishing it. Just kinda tucked our tails between our legs and left. Who was President for both Iraqi messes? A Bush. \n\nGranted Dems were in office during the Vietnam mess.  And Ike was still in office when we first got involved in it--1960.  Look it up.  And who pulled us out of Vietnam, leaving the people who had helped us hanging out to dry, holding the bag? A Republican.\n\nWho didn't want to bother with the Space program until the Russians got Sputnik up there? A Republican. Who backed the Russians down during the Cuban missile crisis? A Democrat. Who promised a man on the moon by the end of the 60's? (Which we did, by the way, with a Democrat in office). A Democrat.\n\nWho had a surplus in our budget, the highest ever? A Democrat. Who has the biggest deficit in our budget ever? A Republican.\n\nLooks to me like the Democrats have a much better follow through record than the Republicans.\n\nAs far as this illegal immigrant thing is concerned, there are people on both sides of the aisle who want to just give them instant citizenship because it will win votes for their party.\n\nI think we need to let BOTH parties know that we're not going to have that.  No other country in the world has such a lenient attitude toward illegals.  We NEED to toughen up, not only on the illegals themselves, but the corporations that make the whole sad situation possible.  Especially them.

Grand Old Party:\n\nThe Republican Party (often referred to as the GOP, for Grand Old Party) is one of the two major political organizations in the United States' two party system; the Democratic Party is the other. Since 1856 Republicans have won 23 of the 38 presidential elections which they've contested, including 7 of the last 10; eighteen of the twenty-eight U.S. Presidents since 1857 have been Republicans.

The Democratic Republican Party was the precursor of the Modern day Democrat Party. The party grew out of the anti-Federalist sentiments of men like Thomas Jefferson which originally focused on the proper power and relative authority of the Federal and State governments.\n\nThe Democratic Republicans (who generally referred to themselves simply as "Republicans" prior to 1820) favored the state governments over the Federal, the small yeoman farmer over city dwellers, and opposed both the Federal Court system and the National Bank.

The democrats of John Kennedy's era are losing their party.  The current democratic party is a poor copy of the original.  Just listen to them.  Please vote Republican.  We cannot afford a democrat.

You had Stephen Douglas who was an old school Democrat but believed in keeping things the way they were. The Southern Democrats were not pleased and demanded a Constitutional Ammendment or a law that would protect slavery. The argument was so heated the Souther Democrats put up thier own choice; James Breckenridge who promised such. The other two parties were the Constitution Party, equivilent to today's Green Party in the sense that who cares about them? Bah. Then the Republicans. You see; back in the day you had the Whigs and the Democrats. The Democrats were the champions of the everyday man being in charge. The Whigs believed strongly in the smartest of the elite being in charge. Then the Whig Party suddenly went free soil and crazily liberal. The classic conservatives of the day all switched over to the Democratic Party. That left the shattered remnents of the Whig Party which soon collapsed under it's own weight. Then came the Republicans who failed to garner success in their first White House bid with John C. Fre'mont and God be praised for it; he was a loon. Thier next try they got in with Lincoln and then the rest is Civil War history.

Gerald Ford was elected neither to the Presidency, nor the Vice Presidency.  He was appointed Vice President upon the resignation of Spiro Agnew, then became President when Nixon resigned.  He was defeated by Jimmy Carter in 1976 when he ran for his own term.\n\nOf course, you'll still have your leftist wags here who will say George W. Bush.  I suggest you take such answers for what they're worth.
