Dynasty 

An irrational predilection of American political parties and the electorate who, lacking a hereditary monarchy, are likely to choose the spouse, sibling or progeny of an eclipsed politician as a candidate for public office as if bloodline were an assurance of policymaking acumen, moral character, or ability. Current dynasties include the Bush, Daley, Dole, Goldwater, Gore, Kennedy, Landrieu, Romney, Taft and Udall families. See also Stephanie Herseth.
