Talk:Party switching in the United States

message: I am pretty sure Andrew Johnson switched from the Democratic party to the Union party during the election after the civil war broke out.  he then switched back to the democrat party after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln
i dont know a whole lot about it from sources other than Wikipedia, so i will not edit the page.  i think that considering Andrew Johnson was the only sitting president to ever switch parties, this should be at least mentioned.  my sources mainly the Andrew Johnson page, which will link you to pages related to "war democrats" and the union party that lasted for like 10 years.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.197.20.124 (talk) 01:48, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
