For what it's worth, I have never heard of the "Adams political family".  Google searches seem sparse and mostly turn up Wikipedia and it's mirror sites.  I suggest it be either removed, or at least unlinked, in the intro paragraph.  Perhaps Dr. Jensen can shed some light on whether or not this is a commonly used term. --[[User:Todd Coles|Todd Coles]] 22:23, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

Adams political family

For what it's worth, I have never heard of the "Adams political family". Google searches seem sparse and mostly turn up Wikipedia and it's mirror sites. I suggest it be either removed, or at least unlinked, in the intro paragraph. Perhaps Dr. Jensen can shed some light on whether or not this is a commonly used term. --Todd Coles 22:23, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
