Hillary had no connection to NY. Dole was born and raised in NC.

I was born and raised in TN - but I haven't lived there (except for a three year period) in thirty years - does that make me a resident, qualified to run for public office in TN. Or does the answer to that question depend on which PARTY?

But hasn't lived there for how long? If she wants to be in the US Senate so bad, why didn't she run for the seat from the state in which she was resident for lo these many years, not simply "move in with Momma" to fit the qualifications clause?

You're supposed to have more of a connection with the district you wish to represent other than you used to live there once upon a time. To my mind, it makes her no more connected than the NY Carpetbagger -- it proves them both to be opportunists.
