Having daughters - a propensity to run for (Democratic) President?

Just curious:

Bill Clinton - one daughter
Al Gore - 3 daughters (1 son)
John Kerry - two daughters
Barack Obama - two daughters

3. Bush sr. does not belong here

as he has more sons than daughters.

Reagan had two daughters and two sons - one adopted.

5. Well you said having daughters

You didn't say having more daughters than sons.

I doubt there is any connection though.

9. Was implied by mentioning the ratio of the Gores

Just an observation though the two last comments are interesting.

Christine Reagan, born to Jane Wyman born and died June 26, 1947.

Or are we only counting children that survived a certain amount of time?

Still seems like a bullshit exercise to me.

6. More plausible, certain lifestyles may kill off male sperm.

Airline pilots tend to have more daughters than sons, because high altitudes kill off male sperm, for example. (Actually, that's the only example I can remember).

I wonder if having presidential ambitions emit some hormones or chemical reactions in the body that kill off the male sperm? :think:
