This is the first father-son combination to make the "former candidates" box on the MPR Web site. They ran for the same office.

Sorry, no. (Let's see how much he wagered). Remember, this is a father and son who ran for the same office in the SAME year. (Running, by my definition, includes the forming and/or filing of an exploratory committee).

I wonder how many times this has actually happened in the U.S. in cases where it didn't involve the death of one of the candidates?

He may soon be our Oli Savor. (sp)
