Yeah, yeah, yeah. Only two problems with your "hypothesis":
1) you've yet to demonstrate that the presidential election is
a matter of random selection and 2) you've yet to explain
the Roosevelt cousins a century after the Adams' and the
near success of the Kennedy brothers a half-century after
that. 
... I'm sorry, I didn't intend to confuse you with facts.
