Actually in the show she is an Independent. Apparently the President who died, thus putting her in office, was a Republican who choose an Independent VP in order to help win a portion of the middle/left vote (as if there weren't enough RINO's to choose from if that was his plan).
In reality I think Hollywood was just too chicken to call her a Democrat. Her views are definitely left of center. They want to use this as a platform to criticize "all" parties (meaning Republicans) with the appearance of nonpartisonship.
Well part of the creative team is prior members of the former administration. But, then again, being a member of the Clinton administration, and having an idea of how the government runs is not necessarily inclusive.
Well .. they certainly didn't do a very good job when they were in office.
