Just for fun.............

Did you know that three names -- Nixon, Dole, and Bush -- have been at the top of the Republican Party ticket in thirteen of the last fourteen presidential elections?

1952:  Nixon, vice president
1956:  Nixon, vice president
1960:  Nixon, president
1964:  The exception -- Barry Goldwater and William Miller
1968:  Nixon, president
1972:  Nixon, president
1976:  Bob Dole, vice president
1980:  George H.W. Bush, vice president
1984:  George H.W. Bush, vice president
1988:  George H.W. Bush, president
1992:  George H.W. Bush, president
1996:  Bob Dole, president
2000:  George W. Bush, president
2004:  George W. Bush, president

Not that I particularly care who the Republicans field for 2008, but -- looks like the string may be ending.  (Fresh faces!  What a concept!)
