For a couple of hundred years, the U.S. Constitution has simply required a senatorial candidate "be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen."

Actually the Constitution provided for the state legislatures to select the senators representing that state. The 17th amendment put an end to that, opening the door to carpetbaggers, professional fund-raisers and individuals of sufficient personal wealth to buy their seat.

He speaks in complete sentences, and uses logic and thoughtful reasoning. Whether this will fly with Illinois voters is uncertain.

That could definitely hurt Keyes. Hasn't that been outlawed as "hate speech" in Chicago and other urban centers?
