Dynasties

Senator Jesse Jackson, Jr. (to replace Obama by appointment)?

Senator Beau Biden (to replace Joe Biden after interim place keeping appointment of an aide)?

Senator Caroline Kennedy (to replace Hillary Clinton)?

"There's nothing more appealing in politics than a storybook ending. And so, the idea that Caroline Kennedy might be appointed by New York Gov. David Paterson to replace Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Senate, the same chamber in which her late father -- John F. Kennedy -- served and the same seat her uncle -- Robert Kennedy -- held, is drawing huge amounts of attention."

Storybook ending?

Aren't these the people who fought Bush and Clinton because they were tired of dynasties?

I guess it depends on which dynasty.
