Johns Hopkins yes, UVA, no. But he graduated first from Princeton. It is a misnomer to call him a Southerner much as it would be to call X42 a Southerner.

Phantom Lord, if you are elected as the governor of a state, you should be a native of that state. Wilson wouldn't have gotten where he was if he would have run in a Southern state

Johns Hopkins is in Baltimore, that region where secessionist sympathy was strongest in Maryland. Still going to call it a "Northern" school?

So, a NYer moving here and graduating from the UNC system or other school in NC and then working here and later being elected to office would make that person a "North Carolinian"?

I doubt you would agree to such a statement. All NC natives I have heard say you MUST be born here to be a North Carolinian.

And if being elected to office in a state makes you a Native, maybe Hillary really is a Life Long Yankee fan.
