Son of Ex-President Carter Seeks Nev. Seat

Jack Carter, son of former President Jimmy Carter, during ...
HENDERSON, Nev. - Democrat Jack Carter, the son of the former president, kicked off his U.S. Senate campaign Monday by calling for a return to "our American values."

Carter, a 58-year-old investment consultant in Las Vegas, is challenging incumbent Republican Sen. John Ensign in his first bid for elected office.

"The singular difference between the junior senator and me is he works for the Bush administration and I want to work for Nevada," Carter said at a union hall outside Las Vegas, accompanied by his parents, former President Carter and first lady Rosalynn Carter.

"Common sense, honesty, integrity and a desire for good government. These are our American values," he said.

1. If he keeps yammering about values without
enumerating the economic populist values that got Clinton elected, he aint got a prayer.

I'm a little uncomfortable with this growth of dynasties in politics, too.

However, if he turns out not to be another southern conservative (unlikely, I'm afraid), he might have a chance.
