Some have been good (Hillary got great marks as a Senator and seems to be a good sec. of state), JFK etc.

Some have been awful, George jr. and IMO the Daley family.

Some more middle of the road.

This is why I always repected Reagan and Clinton in particular. Both came up the hard way without a silver spoon by any stretch of the imagination.

Yeah, I forgot about the Daley's. However, they do just seem to stick to Chicago and not go after federal office.

Bill Daley has gone national. (Secretary of Commerce under Clinton I think)

One of the funniest\most bizarre moments I've seen in politics was when Bill Daley was selected as Gore's main man during the voting debacle in Florida.

I joked with my friend that if anyone was an expert of voter fraud it would be a Daley.

The Daley's had a major major role in determining the Obama\Hillary fight over Illinois.
The father Daley delivered IL to JFK via vote fraud too, although JFK might have won anyway.

Don't worry, no one knows who the hell John Hardin was, LOL,
