If this kid is really all that, he's young, he's got plenty of time to win me over.

But I do think people on our side- especially the ones trying to build the "perfect winning candidate" by plugging things like family connections into the frankenstein machine-- forget that BOTH of our last two, successful, two term Democratic Presidents, came from humble middle class origins, no pedigree whatsoever.

Meritocracy in action.
