...where everybody knows your name...

Goshdarn it! DocBrain has some good political ideas. DocBrain would like to run for office. DocBrain would be a good politico. DocBrain has little chance of winning because...DocBrain does not have brand name recognition.
It's true. Once people become familiar with your name, they will vote for you, no matter how inferior you are to your opponent.
Don't believe me? Here is a story about BrotherBrain's high school science teacher. He had the same name as an ex-governor. He ran for office without campaigning, without party endorsement, and without any experience...yeah, he won.
Names like Kennedy, Bush, Roosevelt, and Adams have retained the national spotlight for decades. I'm sure that wherever you are, there are local political dynasties.
The only other people who stand a chance are those with way out names, names that alliterate like Jessie Jackson, or are three-parters like Frank Lloyd Wright, or evoke subtle memory or recognition like Kerry or Clinton (there is a town named Clinton in almost every state).
So, if you are planning a run for office, I hope you have a memorable name or a familiar one.
What last names do you think will be big in politics in the future?
