There's nothing like support from those closest to you. Dennis Cleary is a politician
who in 2002 was seeking a sixth term in the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut, USA, but
he got no support from his family. It seems that Dennis had a falling out with his siblings over the handling of their father's estate, and
they responded with newspaper ads and signs on their lawns supporting Dennis' political opponent.
''We are tired of Dennis,'' says the ad. ''Are you?''
