High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yellow Dog Democrats was a term applied to U.S. Southern voters who voted solely for Democratic candidates, with the term commencing in the late 19th century. Due to Republican president Abraham Lincoln's leading the Union against the Confederacy, these voters would allegedly "vote for a yellow dog before they would vote for any Republican". Currently, the term is now more generally applied to refer to any Democrat who will vote a straight Party ticket under any circumstances. The phrase "Yellow Dog Democrat" is thought to have achieved popularity during the 1928 Presidential race between the Democratic Al Smith and Republican candidate Herbert Hoover, when Senator J. Thomas Heflin (D-Alabama) crossed party lines to support Hoover. The first known usage to date of yaller dog in relation to Democrats occurred in the 1900 Kentucky gubernatorial contest. Irvin S. Cobb used it in his book Exit Laughing, published in 1941 [now in Canadian public domain and authorized for academic and non-profit use].
