Wow, bronz actually got it on the mark...creepy. 2004 is a good one too.
But yeah, two Ivy Leaguers from political families, not really a good look for "standing with the WWC".
Bill Clinton and Obama rose from nearly nothing and really had to make names for themselves, Dole became partially disabled from his service irc, and Biden was pretty much in the middle class until he became VP. Hillary had quite a path to forge herself just by default.
I'm really drawing blanks with Gore or Bush II.
Al Gore was from a southern political family as well, but Kerry literally was in the same rich kid secret club at college as Bush II was and he married into the Heinz family fortune.
