Presidential 2008 Election

The elephant represents the Republican party. The elephant was created in 1874 by cartoonist Thomas Nast. He drew a donkey wearing a lion's skin. The donkey was scaring away the other animals at a zoo. One of those animals was the elephant and on the elephant was a label; “The Republican Vote.” That's how the elephant became the symbol for the republican party. Republicans say the elephant is strong and dignified.

The donkey represents the Democratic party. This name originated from a joke that was made about Andrew Jackson in his 1828 democratic campaign. His competitors called him a jackass (another name for a donkey). Rather then get upset, he viewed the donkey as a strong willed animal. After that, he used the animal on his campaign posters. Democrats today say the donkey is smart and brave .

How did the Republican Party begin? The Republican Party was first thought of in 1850's by anti-slavery activists. Then, in 1856, the Republicans became a nationalized party. John Fremont was nominated for President. The first Republican in the white house was Abraham Lincoln in 1860. (“About the Republican Party” , n.d.)

How did the Democratic Party begin? The Democratic - Republican Party was identified as "The party of the common man". The party of the common man became the most dominant up until the 1820s– when it split into opposing fractions. It wasn't until 40 years after that it was called the Democratic Party. (“How was the Democratic Party started?” , n.d.)
