US Needs Leader In 08 Who Does NOT Inherit Office Because Of Their Last Name
Very good read. I took it from DU-G. It says so much about the state of this country and makes a case for not going with a name only.



..............George W. Bush would not be president today were his name not George Bush, nor Hillary a senator from New York absent the Clinton name. This nation's traditional commitment to meritocracy inclines many to reject these "unnatural" aristocrats, who never garner widespread popularity.
