Easier

Judy suggests that the Presidential race in 2008 will be between Hillary & Jeb.

That's so dynastic it's practically medieval.

It's like the Wars of the Roses. Like the Capulets v the Montacutes.

It seems as though every political system slides backwards if let- towards such primitive institutions as monarchy and aristocracy and clan.

As George W Bush jokingly said (oh, but he meant it)- "A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier."

Oh, goody! So the loser will die of "pure displeasure and melancholy," aided perhaps by a crushing blow to the back of the head?

And that's exactly the problem with dynastic politics. You end up with a "king" as ill-suited to the game as poor old Henry VI was.
