Presidential tickets:

1980: Reagan/Bush vs. Carter/Mondale
1984: Reagan/Bush vs. Mondale/What's her name
1988: Bush/Quayle vs. Dukakis/Bentsen
1992: Bush/Quayle vs. Clinton/Gore
1996: Clinton/Gore vs. Dole/Kemp

In 32 years there will have been a Bush or Clinton on every presidential ticket. If it looks and smells like a monarchy....
