Pennsylvania is known as the Keystone State and for most of America's history it was the second most populous one. Yet, it has produced just one president, James Buchanan, who by all accounts was rather bad. In fact, most consider him the worst.

Well, among those on that Las Vegas stage, Oct. 18, vying for the Republican nomination were two native-born Pennsylvanians -- Ron Paul who was born in Pittsburgh and Newt Gingrich who was born Harrisburg.

Ron Paul a natural-born Pittsburgher? I demand to see the original Birth Certificate!
And I thought Rick Santorum was also a NBP (Natural-Born Pennsylvanian)?

I wouldn’t care if R-U-N Paul were from Kenya, I still wouldn’t vote for him.

According to Wikipedia, Rick Santorum was born in Winchester, Virginia.
Two of the last three Virginia-born Presidents were residents of another state when they became President: William Henry Harrison and Woodrow Wilson. (The exception was John Tyler.)

And 0 thinks that just because he is sorta black and Biden is mentally challenged that they are the first ticket of oppressed minorities to win the presidency.

Where a candidate for President used to hail from used to mean something, before the Federal government stole sovereignty from the states, and interstate rivalry was more serious than which state’s team won the championship.
To: Tribune7
No, since Herman Cain was born in Tennessee.
