This showed up on my TV this morning:

Every Republican President that has been elected since 1928 had a Nixon or a Bush on the ticket

It’s surprising but true, and I had to explain it to our daughter.

It’s like the quip that “Until Andrew Jackson, every president was either from Virginia or named Adams” (with its equivalent that every president until Jackson that wasn’t from Virginia was named Adams)

This – this – is clearly why Romney lost. Maybe they shoulda run Jeb.
