Ugh, the writers actually identified each Prez as a member of a particular party in previous seasons?

No, no, no. The only time politics was brought into the series was in the first season when Palmer was identified as a Dem. Since then, no one's party affliation has been named. But since, Palmer bowed out of the pres. race in season 3, we deduced that President Keeler (and now President Logan) are Republicans. But that's as far as politics goes.

It is certain that Keeler/Logan is a republican ticket. In season 3, known democrat Palmer was going to debate senator Keeler, so Keeler would have definetly been the Republican debating the democrat. So when Palmer dropped out, and according to the website Keeler beat Prescott (the slimy Vice prez from season 2).
