A curse on both their houses
Article Abstract:
George W Bush and Al Gore come from political families, and are both fixated on their fathers. Revenge for slights they see as having been inflicted on their fathers is one motivating factor. Revenge not only inspires the main protagonists, but also those who work for them. John McCain will have good reason for seeking revenge against Bush after the campaign waged by Bush against McCain. McCain's choice of method to obtain revenge could become an interesting political question.
