Hey!
Someone else thinks we're become more Royalists than Republic! The article swings both ways on why monarchies work and "families" are elected as heads of state. But the last paragraph is where I went with this last week.
In any case, it's no sure thing that a Clinton will follow a Bush who followed a Clinton who followed a Bush. But keep the following in the back of your mind. George P. Bush will be eligible to run for president in 2012. Chelsea Clinton will be eligible to run for president in 2016. So will Jenna and Barbara Bush, who will turn 35 several days after the election. And Jeb Bush, who had a fine record in eight years as governor of Florida, will be younger in 2024 than John McCain will be in 2008 or Ronald Reagan was in 1984. Royalism may be here to stay.
I may be a genius. :) Or at least on the same page as the Wall Street Journal Opinion Journal.
