    Earl Warren wasn't a Democrat

    Earl Warren was elected as governor of California in 1942, 1946, and 1950 as a Republican; in 1946 he also won the Democratic primary for governor. He was the Republican vice-presidential candidate in 1948, and a "favorite son" candidate for president as the 1952 Republican convention; his eventual support for Eisenhower at the convention probably contributed to his nomination as chief justice the following year.
