A person running in their home state for office is not a carpetbagger, and to suggest that they are just out of some personal dislike for someone is just flat-out dishonest. If she's such a bad candidate, surely you can come up with truthful reasons, rather than dishonest ones.
It depends on how you define "home state" She was born in NC, but she's been living in WashDC/Kansas for the last 50 - 60 years. I'd say Kansas is her "home state" with DC (inside the Beltway of course) being her home mindset - not what NC needs.
carpetbagger
NOUN: 1. A Northerner who went to the South after the Civil War for political or financial advantage.
2. An outsider, especially a politician, who presumptuously seeks a position or success in a new locality.
I think she really is number two since she would have no chance in Kansas.
Dishonest??? How so??? Check the voting records for Dole for the last 40 years or so.
