Thanks GUEST, guest, but please don't leave the wrong impression about party affiliation. James Buchanan may have beem the worst president ever, but he was also a Democrat. In 1856, the newly-formed Republican party ran John C. Fremont, the man who accepted the surrender of Mexican interests in California. Buchanan got an impressive 59% of the popular vote and still did a poor job in office.

By the way, are you sure that you don't want to join officially? Membership costs nothing and is quite painless.
