Here is what you said: No. Hillary bought a house, moved to New York and then announced her candidacy. Its 4 August and this guy still lives in Maryland with the election three months away. Looks to me like you are attempting to re-write history: Democrats defend first lady's New York credentials Sunday's announcement ends one of the worst-kept secrets in national politics... ...The first lady told a teachers' union conference on November 23 that she would declare her candidacy in a matter of weeks, but not before she settled into a $1.7 million house in suburban Westchester County in early January to meet residency requirements. She has come under intense scrutiny from the New York press and voters, many of whom have expressed some amount of wariness about why a native of Chicago, who has lived most of her adult life in Arkansas and Washington, would want to take up residence in the Empire State. cnn.com But don't let the FACTS stand in your way. Dude, is English not your first language? She said: "...The first lady told a teachers' union conference on November 23 that she would declare her candidacy in a matter of weeks, but not before she settled into a $1.7 million house in suburban Westchester County in early January to meet residency requirements." .........which is exactly what I said......she bought her house, moved in and THEN declared her candidacy. You continue with this: the IL GOP has none except Keyes. Are you from Illinois? My guess is you don't live in Illinois. If you did, you would have read this: Other potential candidates include radio personality Orion Samuelson, whom Syverson called “a strong, strong candidate,” Aurora dairy owner Jim Oberweis, retired Air Force Major Gen. John Borling, Gold Coast businessman John Cox, Oak Brook entrepreneur Chirinjeev Kathuria, Cook County Commissioner Elizabeth Gorman and former deputy drug czar Andrea Grubb Barthwell. suntimes.com; No, I don't live in IL but I do know that the IL GOP has been trying for weeks to get someone to run but to no avail. They have been turned down at least twice that I know of. In NY, the Dem candidates were all very committed to competing and did so in the NY primary. Do you understand the difference? If not, read it again but more slowly this time. Again, don't let the facts stand in your way. I must admit, this one doesn't really make sense: No one turned down the NY Dem. candidacy; several have turned down the IL GOP candidacy. So what? The point is that Hillary was an out of state candidate that ran for office in New York. Your irrelevant spin does not bolster your case. It just makes you appear petty. It does? It looks very odd to me that people keep turning down the IL GOP's offer to run for the US Senate. Keep in mind that the US Senate ain't the same as running for the local dogcatcher. So what's the big fukking problem, dude? Could it be they are afraid of Barack Obama? Can't be......not the big, bad GOP. And you think I am being petty? Think again!
