The answer is two.  What is your point?

So that would mean three Dems have won twice in the last 150 years, although it seems like FDR should count either two or three times depending on how you look at it.

For Republicans it would be, lets see, six, if you accept Bush won twice or that Nixon's cheating counts.

Cleveland - not consecutive 1884 and 1892, I think

Wilson 1912-1916

FDR 1932-1936

FDR 1936-1940

FDR 1940-1944

Clinton 1992-1996



But -


Truman was an incumbant Dem that won re-election - 1948.

LBJ was an incumbant Dem that won re-election - 1964.


Cleveland and Carter are the only 2 incumbant Dems to lose re-election, Cleveland later acheived re-election.

This leaves only Carter.

And what does this prove? Absolutely nothing.

Ken - your posts can't possibly be serious. I swear this is some kind of performance art thing.
