The Democratic Partyâs donkey and the Republican Partyâs elephant have been on the political scene since the 19th century. The origins of the Democratic donkey can be traced to the 1828 presidential campaign of Andrew Jackson. During that race, opponents of Jackson called him a jackass.
Stalwarts of both Republican and Democratic party campaigns would, of course, tell you that Get Out and Push is the proper attitude when it comes to motivating voters. So there's no Republican monopoly on that strain of GOP. As for the elephant, its status as party symbol appears to be safe. It dates back to a cartoon by legendary political cartoonist Thomas Nast, who in an 1874 issue of Harper's Weekly, depicted the Democrats as a donkey trying to scare a Republican elephant. Win or lose, both symbols have endured. Copyright 2002 CBS.
