Urine Expert and Peanutloser Jimmy Carter's son to run for US Senate?
The son of child urination specialist and failed one-term loser ex-President Jimmy Carter may be running for the US Senate from Nevada against incumbent Senator John Ensign.
Notice how the "bad news" behind Mr. Jack Carter's potential candidacy is packaged way down in the story.
Carter brings famous name to the Nevada Senate race
So, Carter's experience for this seat is the following:
1. He moved to the state 3 years ago.
2. He served in the Navy.
3. He was discharged for using drugs.
4. He campaigned for John Kerry.
Tons of experience! Sort of symbolic of the entire Downtrodden Party.

Carter brings famous name to the Nevada Senate race
President Carter’s eldest son, Jack, is fueling hopes that Democrats can knock off first-termer Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) next year.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, who is friends with Ensign, is one of many Democrats backing Carter’s possible candidacy.
It will be an uphill battle for Carter. Nevada twice backed his father’s opponents, in 1976 and 1980, and Ensign enters the race with $2.1 million in the bank.

Carter moved in 2002 to Nevada, where he and his wife, Elizabeth, run Carter Global, an investment-consulting firm. Before moving to the state, the couple lived in Bermuda.
Carter briefly ran in 1980 for a House seat but pulled out. Besides that, he has no experience as a candidate.
In Nevada, he has been an active party member, Nevada Democratic Party spokeswoman Kristin Searer said.
Like his father, Carter is a Navy veteran. Unlike the former president, he was discharged in 1970 for drug use. Last year, he campaigned for Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) in Nevada; Kerry lost the state.
