Orrin Hatch (he was from Pennsylvania, and hadn't lived in Utah long before running for office).

a place that is not the base for that person's party. Think for example if hypothetically, a democrat u.s. senator from Colorado was from Colorado Springs.

To some extent Casey (though the major Democratic engine is Philly, most candidates come from Scranton-Wilkes Barre).

The Adlai Stevensons were from downstate rather than Chicago.

David Vitter is from New Orleans (though some of the well-to-do white neighborhoods there are arguably more Republican than the rural white areas).

Vitter is very much from his party's base region. LA-01 was one of the first districts in LA to shake off its Democratic roots.

That is correct.

Chris Murphy deserves a mention. You could even argue the same for Dick Blumenthal. Or you could argue that the entire state of Connecticut is a Democratic base, and my post is useless. Tongue

George Voinovich. He lives in a heavily Democratic corner of Cleveland of all places in Ohio.

Kelly Ayotte is from Nashua, which isn't a city that's tied to one party.

Do Durbin, Simon and Dixon really count? Yes the machine is in Chicago, but most of the white politicians are based downstate.

Jim talent st louis, ben nighthorse campbell denver, judd gregg nashua. Daley was such big force in chicago except for braun, obama, and hopefully quigley beating kirk in 16, dared step out of his shadow. Gov job much better.
