One of the more amusing aspects of the Jeb campaign is the appropriation of the exclamation mark after his name.

I suppose it is/was to avoid our thinking that it was another Jeb. Not that Jeb but this one!

Or, perhaps, in a more subtle way it is a distinction from the other Bushes.

Not just another goddam Bush, but Jeb!

Some politico's bright idea.

I am amused because it is only one sign of his trying to dodge the fact of his being a legacy candidate.

Of course, Clinton is a legacy candidate too.

This is nothing new in American politics.

Way back, the Harrison's had a ride. And various Roosevelts. Well two of them. And so on.

Royal families.

So far the Clintons may be royal but they are not yet into the second generation. Or the third.
