PIVOTAL US ELECTIONS - "1800-2006" ???

THE NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY

Pivotal elections

Some elections can mark a "realigning" of national politics. The 2006 midterm elections may mean the dominant conservative coalition is breaking up in advance of such a realigning election. Presidential elections that forged a new political order:

1800: Thomas Jefferson's Democratic-Republican Party replaced the once-dominant Federalists; in power until 1824.

1828: Andrew Jackson's Democrats installed frontier populism in power.

1860: Abraham Lincoln's Republicans replaced Whigs who had splintered in the 1850s.

1896: William McKinley's Republicans united industrialists, resulting in progressive reform.

1932: Franklin D. Roosevelt's Democrats united many groups, at the height of the Depression, behind New Deal big-government policies.

1968: Richard Nixon's Republicans and Southern populists broke New Deal coalition.

1980: Ronald Reagan forged a broader conservative coalition that dominated politics until the 2006 midterm elections.
