There has been a Bush or a Clinton on the Presidential ticket in every election since 1980. There will probably be one in '08, but do will really need more of both? From

In Dad's Footsteps: a Bush for Veep?
OK, so Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has made it clear that he doesn't want to run for the GOP presidential nomination in 2008, but that hasn't stopped friends from talking him up for vice president. In fact, allies are pushing him as the perfect match for several Republicans already running for president, including Virginia Sen. George Allen, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. "I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes vice president," said a Bush friend and Florida lawmaker. After all, it was good enough for his dad. The two reasons cited: Jeb is wildly popular in Florida, a key electoral state, and he is often called the smarter Bush brother.
Do we really need any more of the Clinton-Bush rivalry? I know it's great fodder for historians a few hundred years down the road, but for now can the two sides just frickin' simmer?
I don't hate Hillary, and to tell you the truth I don't hate Jeb all that much either, but what pisses me off is the trend that, along with the polarization of the parties along ideological lines, there is a corresponding effort to concentrate the power centers of each party within a Bush Family/Clinton Camp rubric.
I'm perfectly willing to concede that these two phenomena aren't related, but at the moment I can't help but believe that one of the reasons (and I know there are many) each side hates each other so much is that there are two opposing forces that refuse to relinquish the power and influence they have in their respective parties. I don't care if Jeb Bush is Ralph Nader's running mate in 2008 - he'll still have to carry almost 30 years of Bush family baggage with him on the campaign trail and/or into office, and that means toting Cheney's, Rumsfeld's, Rove's (et al.) dirty laundry as well. The same goes with Sen. Clinton, as I'm sure you've heard a million times before.
And this will go on and on until some one on each side is able to wrestle power away from the king-makers. For once, can Presidents just clean out there desks in the Oval Office and tell the country that there going to spend the rest of their days, I don't know, helping the homeless build houses to shelter their families? Maybe let the American people choose the new guy for once? If not we may as well start referring to succession of our presidents as Bush XLI, Bush XLIII, Bush XLV, etc.
