Carpetbaggers...

Yeah, and don't mouth off about carpetbaggers when it's none of your business (Yeah, I'm looking at you, Alan Keyes).

I agree -- people should be allowed to vote for someone who recently moved into the state if they want to. The voters will decide for themselves whether it matters. For the same reason, I'm against term limits.

Of course, a hot-air-blower like Keyes will always be his own worst enemy:

"I deeply resent the destruction of federalism represented by Hillary Clinton's willingness to go into a state she doesn't even live in and pretend to represent people there. So I certainly wouldn't imitate it."

This guy spouts more pseudo-intellectual blather than Newt Gingrich even.

And Illinois Republicans have been offering extremely feeble endorsements of him.

Am I dreaming or are we _this_ close to a consensus -- Let the voters decide for themselves whether the fact that a candidate came from out of state matters to them.

Hey, Republicans, Democrats, (Others), liberals, conservatives ... let's all join hands ...
