What does GOP stand for in US politics?
GOP stand for “Grand Old Party”. The Republican Party (often referred to as the GOP, for “Grand Old Party”) is one of the two major political organizations in the United States’ two party system; its great rival is the Democratic Party. In addition to controlling the White House since 2001, the Republican Party has held majorities in the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives almost continuously since 1995. Republicans currently hold 28 governorships and have majorities in 20 state legislatures. Normally the sitting president is the leader of his party, controlling the national committee and taking the roles of chief spokesman and chief fundraiser. President Bush selected Ken Mehlman as the chairman of the Republican National Committee in January 2005. I found so much info at this site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOP I Hope I Helped!
