RFK HRC and W, even Jeb, all from the big three families, all backstage intertwined.
All bets are off when it comes to members of these royal families that people in this country seem so happy to keep in power, and on the scene, no matter what.
any time people talk about H! in anyway, I cannot believe that people don’t realize she does not fit into the regular rules.
The Bush family are the only republicans who have been in the White House since Reagan.
ad it has been a mess since GHWB got in.
Perot messed that up, he was the only one with the money and the loathing of the Bush family. What Perot wrought I think is only debatably worse, and Clinton WAS and IS a disaster.
Carpetbagging works for these people. Others should not use them as a standard.
Jeb- FLa; Prescott- Conn; the Georges, Texas, but through Connecticut and Yale and Harvard
There is carpet bagging and there is carpet bagging.
W was born in New England but moved to Texas with his parents as a child and has lived most of his life there. I do not consider that carpet bagging.
I now live in state that I was not born in. But I have lived here for 30 years, went to college, here. Started a family and own a home here. If I ran for office here (which I have no intention) would I be considered a carpet bagger? I don’t think so.
With Scott Brown in NH, however, after losing his senate seat in MA it looks like he moved to NH for the specific purpose of running for office. And I don’t think it is playing well, hence the poor showing in the poll above.
All through history there are examples of families which have been actively involved in politics. This was quite true in the ancient Roman Republic as well as early US History.
John Adams president, so was his son, John Quincy Adams.
William Henry Harrison was president, so was his grandson, Benjamin Harrison.
