When was the last time the Republicans won the White House without a candidate named Bush or Nixon on the ticket?
1928 Herbert Hoover and Charles Curtis. Interestingly, Curtis was primarily of Kaw Indian descent, making him the only person of primarily non-European ancestry to occupy the second highest office in the land. He was also a proponent of the five-day work week.
I need to get a good book on the Vice-Presidents. History's "Forgotten Men" are often more interesting than the Presidents they served under.
