Well there’s their Presidential endorsements, Mostly rat since the 1880’s seems like that’s when they went from R to D (at least from R to Bourbon Democrat). Ike was the last R they endorsed, you are right (and will be the last R for all time or until they go out of business). I’m pretty surprised they went with anti-women’s suffrage and segregationist democrat John Davis in 1924.
I read a few old NTimes articles from the 1894 midterm elections (GOP beatdown of dems), pre-election predictions were “Democracy”(the dems) is gonna win yay” post election was like a reading an obituary, I could almost see the writers tear stains on the .PDF.
Oops, wrong link. Though the laughing dog is a good representation of a slimes writer.

There.
The Superbowl: I have no real love for the Pack, but the fact that the Steelers owner, Dan Rooney is such an Obama ass-clown has made me HATE that franchise. So, by default, go Green Bay.
Mark Foley? He'll probably end up being the keynote speaker at CPAC.
Chelsea Clinton (and her mom, too): Methinks they've seen the surgeon's scalpel once or twice.
The NYT and their satellites are not worthy to be bird cage lining.

Adolph Ochs did not gain control of the Times until 1896! At the time he purchased the paper, they were in poor financial shape (panic 0f 1893?; cheerleading for the Democrats?). Start there and see if you can pick up a "Republican" pattern (editorially) through the 1950s.
