Sibling rivalry in leadership battles

Michael Crick | 10:08 UK time, Monday, 17 May 2010

On the question of whether the Milibands are the only brothers to run against each other, Tom Sanderson has e-mailed to say that the Rockefeller brothers, Nelson and Winthrop, both ran for the US Republican presidential nomination in 1968.

The Rockefellers stood against each other at the 1968 Republican convention, before Richard Nixon beat both of them (and several other contenders, including Ronald Reagan).

Nelson Rockefeller, was governor of New York, and ran for the presidency several times. In 1974, he become Gerald Ford's vice-president. Winthrop died in 1972.
