The voters will defeat Keyes, badly. Does that prove ANYTHING about the principle here? It's freakin' amazing to me how so many Freepers will waive the constitution about ANY issue until it affects them in an election . . . then, suddenly, it's "out of date" or irrelevant.

Alan, as long as he establishes residency, meets the Constitutional requirements.

You are raising parochialism to the level of constitutionalism.

Your argument doesn't hold water.

Let me make it real simple. I'm not talking about REQUIREMENTS. I'm talking about the Founders' intentions, and you know them as well as I, namely

that REPRESENTATIVES at the national level come from the people they supposedly represent.

You guys are really jumping through hoops on this one, and it's reminiscent of the Clinton supporters trying to explain why their guy wasn't doing anything wrong.
