Ironically, William Miller's daughter (grandaughter?) is the wonderful liberal talkshow host Stephanie Miller. I heard that Stephanie Miller and Goldwater's daughter (grandaughter?) ran a tounge-in-cheek campaigne for president in 2008: as, natch, Goldwater/Miller.

Other DUers might have better info on that.
