To: Behind Liberal Lines

I once made a post of the political dynasties and was amazed at the many rather overlooked ones.

We know these:
“The Bush family includes a U.S. senator from Connecticut, a member of Congress and a governor from Texas (both of whom became president), and a governor of Florida. Members of the Rockefeller family have been elected to public office in New York, West Virginia and Arkansas.”

But since John Adams and son John Quincy Adams through the many years of our history we have had political families again and again.

...the Huntington family of Connecticut, the Long family 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 DuPont family of Delaware.
