Roy Moore, A chief justice who endorsed Republican Larry Klayman.
In the early 20th century, the traditional symbol of the Republican party in Midwestern states such as Indiana and Ohio was the eagle, as opposed to the Democratic cock.
He confirmed the Republicans as a pro-enterprise party; his campaign manager, Marcus Hanna was a highly effective political strategist and fund-raiser which meant McKinley outspent his radical rival William Jennings Bryan by a large margin.
The Republican Party solidified its Congressional margins in the 2002 midterm elections (regaining control of the Senate), in the run-up to the Liberation of Iraq.
