That leaves us with one Clinton: Chelsea.
She has the Clinton name but little of the Clinton baggage. She wouldn’t hurt for name recognition or campaign cash. She’s vice chair of the controversy magnet known as the Clinton Foundation, but emails released during the presidential campaign by WikiLeaks and the State Department show Chelsea getting caught doing good, seeking to root out corruption by foundation officials and warning of problems with Haiti earthquake relief.
She is an Arkansas native, even though she hasn’t lived there since she was 12. Sure, she lives in Manhattan now and lacks a Southern accent. But her mom bought her first house in New York two months before she launched her Senate bid, proving ZIP code ain’t nothing but a number. Carpetbagger charges are inevitable. But in the end, what matters is your knowledge and respect of the state and its voters. Chelsea shows no hint of cultural condescension toward her birthplace. For example, as an NBC reporter, she spotlighted efforts to preserve the folk music traditions of the city of Mountain View in the Ozarks.

What an ignorant, asinine, silly, juvenile asssertion!
The Clinton name IS the Clinton baggage.
D'OH!
She’s got the brains, and looks, of Web Hubble.
Arkansans aren’t as stupid (or liberal = same thing) as New Yorkers.
She should use the address of her father's library to establish residence, why not? No one would believe she cares about the state anyway.
Respect of the voters means knowing that they would rather be represented by some who lived amongst them all their lives.
Hillary in New York in 2000 was a fluke; when Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY) announced in 1998 his intention to retire in 2000, Hillary Clinton was not even mentioned as one of the likely candidates for his seat.
The Clinton's needed to rehabilitate their "brand" after the Senate failed to convict Bill, and New York seemed to be the most fertile opportunity to do so.
The Clintons may think that Arkansas may serve the same purpose, but perhaps Arkansas will take a lesson from Alabama and Mississippi that the South will no longer be the playground of the elites?

Arkansas is a different state now.

Different in what way?
If she tries to take that Senate seat, she'll get her Cotton pickin’ hand slapped.
There are already 2 Dems who do NOT live in the districts they represent: Perhaps more:
Pelosi & Mad Maxine Waters.
I though it was law that you had to live in the district, etc.
Having a New York bimbo be the Senator for a southern state seems like a natural progression-—for Dems.
Chelsea back to Arkansas? Bwahaha!!! That’s a good one!!!
I doubt it. Snakes and other reptiles lay eggs.
And besides, Howdy was a nice guy.
chel should be in prison as a Director of the criminal klintoon “foundation”. What a putz and idiot.
“Hillary’s birth canal”
That’s one disgusting band name.
Worthy of a GWAR-esque shock band.
