CARSON CITY, Nevada (Reuters) - Democrat Jack Carter, 58, the son of former President Jimmy Carter formally announced a run for the U.S. Senate on Monday in his first bid for elected office.
With his parents sharing a stage in the Nevada capital, Carter invoked many of the same themes his father used to rise from relative obscurity to win the Democratic nomination in 1976 and go on to become president.
"All we need is a return to our core American values and new leadership," Carter said as his father smiled broadly and applauded with a receptive crowd of several hundred people. He criticized the Bush administration's invasion of Iraq as well as its domestic spying and drug prescription programs.
One of four children, Democrat Jack Carter was active in his father's 1976 campaign for president but has devoted his professional life to business. He lived in Bermuda as an investor before moving to Nevada three years ago.
Carter is seeking to unseat Nevada's junior Sen. John Ensign, a Republican who grew up in the state, but polls suggest newcomer Carter faces an uphill battle.
"He's far ahead now of what I was when I started running for president," the elder Carter told journalists.
Warmly received, the former president signed autographs for the crowd and told them to back his son. "I've known Jack ever since he was born and he doesn't need a lot of advice about politics: he helped me get elected president," he said.

He looks every inch the idiot his old man is.
What's up with that face of his? Is he trying to "clean and jerk" that folder over his head?
Now we know for sure that cloning is despicable!
He looks every inch the idiot his old man is.
"Looks?"
"sun's coming up I got cakes on the griddle..."
Seems like a "NUT", just like his old man.
Just what the political landscape needs...another nut job.
Ensign is going to crush this bozo just like he crushed the ambulance chaser they put up 6 years ago. The secret is that none of the major industries are going to make any kind of effort to help Carter. He will be running a campaign essentially on his own. Even the AFL-CIO will not put all their eggs in that basket.
The hubby has actually spoken to him and said he is as stupid as he looks.
Funny--he looks a lot like Harry Reid!
"He lived in Bermuda as an investor to avoid U.S. taxes."
There, fixed it.
Horrifying.
