Even the rows of chain-smoking gamblers, their eyes usually fixed to the whirring symbols before them, turn their jaded faces and look with astonishment at the spitting image of the Georgia peanut farmer who in 1976 came from nowhere to win the White House.

If Jack thinks that campaigning amongst the tourists (visiting gamblers), and campaigning on his father's "record" is the way to victory, he's still smoking dope.

Amy, the *cute* one? Cripes. I shudder at what those boys must have looked like! That whole family was just one bearded aunt away from the Big Top.

Don't forget the nephew who was in prison for murder. Or the uncle who ran an ant farm. They are the South's version of the Kennedys, except fortunately there aren't as many of them.

LOL! I hate to say this, (not really), but the Carters make the Clintons look positively Beacon Hill. No need for the Clintons to goad about it, though, bill pronounces it Bacon Hill.

This guy lives in Nevada for three years and thinks he should be a leader of Nevadans. Shades of Hillary. And lived in Bermuda when he became an investment banker. What's up with that?

"Carter bets on father's good name"

LOL, Carter was a terrible, horrible president. Maybe, the worst ever and being worse the LBJ ain't easy.

Mr Carter, 58, also started work 40 years ago as a peanut farmer but turned to investment banking, lived in Bermuda until three years ago and has spent years running his own hedge fund business.

Some interesting information there. Why was he living in Bermuda, and how did a peanut farmer get so rich? Did he represent Libya, along with Uncle Billy?

Is that just great.

We can thank George 76 for this.

This son of Jimmmmmy's got thrown out of the Navy for blatant drug use. He hates America like his Daddy and make his uncle Billy look like a genius.

His father had so little faith in him that he had to ask his sister "Amy" what to do about atomic bombs. :)

I remember watching the Debate with Reagan. It wasn't an atomic bomb, it was a "nu-kear" bomb.

Saturday Night Live (back when it was funny) had a brilliant sketch with Gilda Radner as Miz Lillian and Gary Busey as Billy. When she wnated him to come to her, she popped the top of a beer and he came running.

Carter and good name don't work in US politics. Not in the same sentence. Do the Republicans have a good candidate in this race?
