The Kennedy's the Rockefeller's the Bush's the Gore's the Clinton's the Bayh's the Levin's the Dole's and even more... All those families have had people elected to office not because they were qualified, but because of their last names. It seems that the US is getting "royal" families; that is, our elected officials have to have a relative in politics, just like the old days in England. A seat in the House of Lords in England is inherited, sort of like Gore from his father, Kennedy from his brother, Bush from his father and so on... Didn't we have a president who said we have a government of the people, by the people, for the people?
