American Political Family Feuds

Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV)

The United States has experienced its share of political families which feud with one another. To help understand this historical curiosity a bit better, The Washington Post published a short piece in today's online edition about the families that fight over the same political turf. My favorite is Moore vs. Rockefeller in West Virginia.

Of course, the upcoming 2016 heavyweight political fight between Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton will be the marquee family feud of the early 21st Century. If George H.W. Bush passes away between now and the election for the 45th president of the United States, the family angle will be accentuated.
