There is nothing immoral about a state deciding the best man for the job is from outside. If they don't want an out-of-stater, fine. If they do, it's also fine. It's up to them. The Founders would never have imposed on the states any idea of whether this is right or wrong. They left it to the states to decide.
"You're talking about tradition, not morality. Electing a home-grown resident in the state is a tradition, not a moral principle. (And by the way, Obama isn't home-grown, either.)

well said.
Fine. Have it your way. Once the principle is gone, it's gone. And justifying it by saying "a Democrat does it" is, well, not a justification for anything. Trust me, you/we will all regret this, and all the more so because Keyes will get clobbered. It's a bad principle, a bad fight, and a dumb strategy.
