| | Democratic Party (United States) |
 | | The reforming Democratic Governor of New York, Grover Cleveland, won the Presidency in 1884 and 1892. | | | The Democrats did not regain the Presidency until William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt split the Republican vote and Woodrow Wilson won with a modest plurality in 1912. | | | Southern Democrats took notice of the fact that 1964 Republican Presidential candidate Barry Goldwater had voted against the Civil Rights Act (an unusual departure from his previous support for such legislation), and in the 1964 election Goldwater's only electoral victories outside his home state of Arizona were in Southern states. |

| | When the South as a region was a political stronghold for Democrats in the first half of the 20th century, it was said that a Southern voter would vote for a mangy yellow dog before he/she would vote for a Republican. | | | Blue Dog Democrats are an actual voting coalition made up of Members of Congress, whereas Yellow Dog Democrat is an expression -- it describes a certain kind of voter. | | | Tauzin has since switched to the Republican party and Hayes was defeated in a run for the Senate. |

| | Yellow dog Democrat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Yellow Dog Democrats were voters in the U.S. Southern states who consistently voted for Democratic candidates — simply because of lingering resentment against Republicans during the Civil War and Reconstruction periods. | | | The term arose from an apocryphal remark that a Southerner would vote for a yellow dog before he'd vote for a Republican. | | | The term gained national prominence during the 1928 presidential campaign when many Southern voters disliked several items on Democratic candidate Al Smith's platform but voted for him regardless. |
