	This quiz has been made before and published in list format. I thought it would be interesting to see it visually where each answer was color coded. I've left the time high because I realize that there will be a fair amount of scrolling necessary when you get down to the later years. I've made a few judgment calls. I realize that Washington is often listed as having no party because of his disdain for party politics. In that he consistently took Federalist positions, was supported by Federalists, had a cabinet full of Federalists and was opposed in his second election by the Anti-Federalists, I have listed him here as a Federalist. In the cases where a faithless elector voted for a non-candidate, I have listed that candidate by their party affiliation in the remainder of their political career. Although Lincoln ran on the National Union ticket in border states he was the endorsed Republican candidate in 1864 and is so listed here. Key: (in order of appearance) Green: Federalist Yellow: Anti-Federalist Orange: Democratic-Republican Blue: Democratic Purple: National Republican Gold: Nullifier Silver: Anti-Masonic Brown: Whig Red: Republican Pink: Know-Nothing Tan: Constitutional Union Aquamarine: Populist Olive: Bull Moose Khaki: Progressive Steel Blue: Dixiecrat Goldenrod: American Independent Salmon: Libertarian

	Hejman, are the colors supposed to correspond to the party colors? Because I know for a fact that the Libertarians use Gold as their color, while the American Independents did not (they used purple, according to Wikipedia).

	No, beyond the fact that I used red for Republicans and blue for Democrats (colors that I think can be traced back to Tim Russert's coverage of the 2000 election) the colors were chosen at random by me and were only meant to be different enough from one another to differentiate the parties. I think of sports teams as having official colors but never really thought of political parties that way.

	Ooh, accepting 'Ewards' for 2004. Nice touch!

	Big (?) hint for the ones I missed (and the 1908-1916 ones I got): think Supreme Court Justices, especially Chief Justices: John Jay, Iredell, Ellsworth, Rutledge, Taft, Hughes, et al.
