[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did any First Kid did something of similar caliber as their fathers? Those kids do get all sort of privileges. Bush Jr made governor and president and his brother governor, can't think of anyone else.[/quote]

So we are switching to first kid now?

I don’t think Bush 2 was considered a first kid as he was not a kid who lived in the WH when his dad was president. [/quote]

Privilege helped nonetheless.[/quote]

In 2000, Newsweek magazine observed that there as many, if not more, Democratic political families as there were Republican "dynasties.”

Many of these families moved to national prominence from a single state or region, for example: the Huntingtons of Connecticut, the Longs of Louisiana, the Harrisons and Lees of Virginia, the Roosevelts of New York, the Daleys and the Stevensons of Illinois, the Muhlenbergs of Pennsylvania, the Tafts of Ohio, the Frelinghuysens of New Jersey, the Lodges of Massachusetts and the DuPonts of Delaware.

Other families are or have been politically involved in multiple states. The Bush family includes two presidents (one a former Vice President, the other a former governor of Texas), a senator from Connecticut, and a governor of Florida.

The Kennedy family included a president, an attorney general, and a senator from Massachusetts in one generation. Other members have been elected to public office in New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maryland, and California.

Bill Clinton served as governor of Arkansas before being elected the 42nd president; his wife, Hillary Clinton, was elected as a senator from New York before serving as secretary of State.

Members of the Rockefeller family have been elected to public office in New York, West Virginia and Arkansas.

The Udall family first became prominent in Arizona, but three cousins from the most recent generation simultaneously served in the U.S. Senate from Colorado, New Mexico, and Oregon.
