If the law in Illinois is such that anybody from anywhere can run...well that's not good IMHO. This means that any old political hack can go from state to state that allows anyone to run until he manages to get elected.

This is a childish argument, and it changes nothing.

How did you feel when Dick Cheney changed his Texas residency after decades so that he could meet the constitutional restriction on a POTUS and a vice-POTUS being from the same state?

How hard did you rail on him?

Dick Cheney had a residence in Wyoming.

Are you saying Keyes has a home in Illinois.

It is not a childish argument....and you are a fool for thinking so......and actually, I didn't like what Cheny did much and I certainly don't like what Dr. Keyes is doing.....it will only get worse in the future...the party's will just run candidates where they are needed....why don't we then just stop pretending that we have 2 Senators from the several states and just elect 100 U.S. delegates at large? Its madness....every little chip at the foundations of our system only weakens it and it don't make a difference which party takes the whack.

Dr. Keyes, a legal resident of Maryland, has no business running for the Senate from Illinois no matter how much we would all like to see him win.
