Well, the last sitting VP to become President prior to Bush 1 was Van Buren so it's rare as hell to get 12 years of a party in general.

I think you'd need to go back to McKinley/Teddy/Taft get to 12 years of a party (in the non-FDR/Truman) case just off the top of my head.

        We also hadn't had 3 consecutive two-termers since Jefferson-Madison-Monroe, and here we are, so weird things happen. -- nm - Were-Baron Nov 4, 13:03
        
        I don't disagree, but it's happened. I don't think she wins, but that's because Jeb is imo, the only GOPer who can do it. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 12:55
