I was found myself think of the Democratic Party nominees for President over the last 50 years:

Adlei Stevendon
John F. Kennedy
Lyndon B. Johnson
Hubert H. Humphey
George McGovern
Jimmy Carter
Walter Mondale
Michael Dukakis
William Jefferson Clinton
Albert Gore

And realized that all those who won and became President all have one thing in common. In fact they have it in common with the first Democratic President, Thomas Jefferson.

Can't figure it out? See if this helps:

Adlei Stevendon
John F. Kennedy
Lyndon B. Johnson
Hubert H. Humphey
George McGovern
Jimmy Carter
Walter Mondale
Michael Dukakis
William Jefferson Clinton
Albert Gore

That's right they all have the initial J in their names. Maybe Gore should have gone on the ballot as Al Gore, Jr. in 2000.

I wonder how this will bode for John Kerry?

Interesting! Maybe John Kerry, Al Gore Jr., Harold Ford Jr., John Edwards, and more?
