I think Johnson might be the only VP of a different party since the 12th Amendment was passed. Back then, they didn't have very good polling, and Lincoln was afraid he might lose the 1864 election, so he picked a Democrat as his VP to appeal to moderates. Based on his margin of victory I don't think Lincoln was in any real danger of losing, but Johnson got to be President. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:949464882] in Politics C...
