Mr. Peanut: The Next Generation

It's official - Jack Carter (no, not the comedian - HE might have a chance), eldest son of the worst president in American history, is challenging...well, okay, he's not much of a challenge, let's just say he's running against - incumbent GOP Senator John Ensign of Nevada next November.

This means that Carter has heredity as a built-in excuse, something that will come in handy should he decide to make losing elections into a second career.
