I don't like how Underwood is a Democrat. It's like, South Carolina, the Civil War reenactors, perfect for a GOP Presidency. But no, Hollywood / Netflix had to make him a Democrat. Anyway, since Underwood is a Democrat, and they may renew for Season 6, it's clear Underwood wins either Ohio or Pennsylvania.

For once, I wish there would be a political show around a Republican White House, something like a Rubio Presidency. But Hollywood can't have that, lol.

Urquhart (the main character from the original version) also was a conservative so it would have made sense if Underwood was a Republican. I suppose they made him a Democrat because House of Cards viewers probably just lean Democrat.
No, they made him a Democrat because conservatives would scream bloody murder if they saw a show about a Republican congressman literally killing people to gain power.

The idea of Underwood as a Republican is tempting if anything because most of fictional Presidents from popular TV series happens to be Democrats. And his "AmeriWork" scheme, I just don't see him being able to sustain any significant support among the base.

As of Urquhart, please keep in mind Michael Dobbs was a conservative party operative, so it was probably much easier for him than to come up with a Labour or LidDem FU.
