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.

No my point is that he shouldn't have been allowed to run for office outside of the state he was born in. With his views, I don't think he would have got very far in a run for governor of Georgia.

The same as Hillary running for office in NY. It should be in each state constitution as a requirement to hold office in that state. What you have when candidates cross states just to get elected for future possibilities at national political office is an elected official within the state that doesn't have the best views of their constituency in mind
