    Humphreys listed as First Family of Minnesota Politics

    By Joe Kimball | Published Thu, Jul 29 2010 11:46 am

    "The Fix" blog of the Washington Post attempted to identify the First Families of Politics in each state, and came up with the Humphrey family for Minnesota:

    Minnesota

    The Humphreys: State Attorney General Skip Humphrey, who made an unsuccessful bid for governor in 1998, is the son of the late Senator and Vice President Hubert Humphrey and Muriel Humphrey, who was appointed to her husband's former Senate seat.

    Anyone got other ideas or additions?

    Many of the selections came from readers, and writer Chris Cillizza said he's happy to update the chart if commenters can make their case.
