Jack Carter is counting on lineage (his dad was president) and loot (a $1 million-plus war chest) to topple the seemingly invincible Sen. John Ensign
Jack Carter leans forward, hands clasped on the desk in his campaign office, a smile creasing his bespectacled, 59-year-old face: "You thinks it's cool that I'm Jimmy Carter's son."
The statement floats in the air for a few seconds, followed by another quip, this one unaccompanied by a grin: "I'm semi-famous. That's the reason for the interest."

I'm sorry Jack, I never even knew Jimmy had a son. We were always treated to stories about Amy

That's funny. I didn't know that either.

You thinks it's coolThinks? A 56 year old man doesn't, or shouldn't speak like that. Did Jimmy keep the boys locked in the basement or what? It was Amy 23/7 giving advice to the POTUS.

His father is a traitor and sister Amy is an extremist lefty. I see nothing in Jack to indicate he is any different.

"If Michael Jordan ran for office, the name recognition attached to him would be phenomenal," Carter says. "People have an immediate sense of who I am because of my father. They're thinking that the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree." Carter envisions the rest of the plan working like this: media interest dominoes into campaign donations—"The Carter name means I can tap into the good feelings many folks have toward my father," he says—which translates into voter support, carrying him to victory over Ensign.
"All I have to get is 51 percent of the vote, and I win," Carter says, chuckling.
This guy is a genius.

J and R Carter had Amy later on in life; their 3 sons were either completely out on their own or in college when they and Amy occupied the WH. Those who didn't pay close attention to family details )or who were too young to remember) all pretty much think that Amy was an only child. Alas, sigh, no...
