"On March 31, 1911, after a three-month-long deadlock in the New York State Legislature, (James) O'Gorman was elected as a Democrat to serve in the U.S. Senate.[3] Tammany boss Charles Francis Murphy wanted his upstate ally William F. Sheehan to be elected, but a faction of the Democratic Party, led by State Senator Franklin D. Roosevelt, blocked Sheehan's election. After 62 ballots in 73 days, and three dozens of names voted for, they compromised on Justice O'Gorman. He served a single term until March 4, 1917.

Because he's not a democrat NWCorona Feb 2016 #1
I laugh in your general direction. hifiguy Feb 2016 #4
Care to explain? NWCorona Feb 2016 #5
If he's not a Democrat, She's not a Democrat either. Bubzer Feb 2016 #72
He is more of an FDR New Deal Democrat than most DNC members, and they don't like that. Cal33 Feb 2016 #101
LOL! senz Feb 2016 #100
Except he is, so that meme is simply false. Try again: Live and Learn Feb 2016 #6
How is he a democrat? NWCorona Feb 2016 #9
He registered as one. How does anyone become a Democrat? nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #14
He registered only to run on the Democratic ticket. NWCorona Feb 2016 #19
Dos it matter why someone registers? No, the fact is once you do, you are a Democrat. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #20
Yep. dchill Mar 2016 #138
Hillary registered as a Democrat years ago for tactical purposes, her views are those of Dragonfli Feb 2016 #67

Marvelous explanation Dragonfli! JimDandy Feb 2016 #131
Look at his policy positions. hifiguy Feb 2016 #15
Agreed! But that's not the point I'm making. NWCorona Feb 2016 #17
The point you're making is that inconsequential trivia should be considered important. Maedhros Feb 2016 #41
It seems that your reply to me is inconsequential NWCorona Feb 2016 #43
Are you saying that Bernie deserves to have the DNC at odds with his campaign? [n/t] Maedhros Feb 2016 #44
No I'm not at all saying that. The rules are clear and Bernie followed them NWCorona Feb 2016 #45
ah. authoritarian. NRaleighLiberal Feb 2016 #58
Me? Hardly NWCorona Feb 2016 #60
Your point is not clear, and you seem pretty combative in responding to criticism Maedhros Feb 2016 #66
That's fine. I think I have been in fact very respectfully of others opinions NWCorona Feb 2016 #73
The term you guys are looking for pdsimdars Feb 2016 #93

She said he wasn't a Democrat until he decided to run for President. LuvLoogie Feb 2016 #38
And how is that different than the point I'm making? NWCorona Feb 2016 #39

Sorry but that's not physics if you want we can talk about that all day NWCorona Feb 2016 #47

Jesse is more of a Democratic activist, not a politician or an elected representative. LuvLoogie Feb 2016 #97
How do we know that you are a Democrat? snort Feb 2016 #57
The difference is that I don’t hold an elected office so the unknown is there. NWCorona Feb 2016 #61
If Bernie is not a Democrat, then neither was FDR. MgtPA Feb 2016 #77
I want Bernie to emulate FDR in a big way NWCorona Feb 2016 #86
