James Earl Carter, Jr. [the 39th President]
The Democratic Party supports Obama for President. The Democratic Party will not be bullied by Republicans.
Improving the previous answer, which was way off, the first democratic president elected was Thomas Jefferson. By the way, Washington was Republican.
They did vote for Lincoln and for Reagan for President and they do have Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Governor's seat. They also recalled the last Democratic Governor they had so while the Democratic Party does hold both Houses of the legislature it is not a completely lost cause for the Republicans.
A Democrat could run for the Democratic nomination against an incumbent Democratic President. This happened in 1980 , for example, when Ted Kennedy ran against President Carter. A democrat would not run on the same party lines as another Democrat since the Democratic party can only nominate one candidate themselves. So a third party could nominate a Democrat to run for president if that Democrat lost the Democratic nomination to someone else.
