I'm from Illinois. Maybe New York has no problem with carpetbaggers like Hillary, but people in Illinois do.
Let me say this about Hillary: It was not about where she's from but rather about her looney ideas and background. People voted for her because of her name recognition (liberals are dumb like that) and about her socialist beliefs, not because she was from another state.
Keyes represents principles and ideas...a far cry from Obama's superficial feel good bombast.
