Wow, there's no prescendence for this. Except for the Roosevelts who had 18 years in power over a 44 year period. Oh, and the Adamses who had 12 years over 28 years. And if there's any family that's viewed as royalty in this country, it's the Kennedy's.
Nothing new here, nothing to see. Who's the heir-apparent after Hillary? Chelsea's not old enough and I doubt that any with even the last name Bush will be electable in the next 20 years, just like if you'd tried to run for national office with the last name Nixon in the 70's or 80's.
It's an interesting theory, but it's all predicated on Hillary getting elected in '08. She's not even the Democratic frontrunner right now, so this conversation should probably be tabled for at least a year or so when we see who gets the nomination. If that happens, I'll give you theory a lot more credence, but right now it's just an interesting coincidence in my mind. For now, I'll just keep hoping that Bill Richardson gets the Democratic nod.
