Carpetbagging (none / 0)

Call someone who moves to Kentucky that. As a New Yorker for most of my life, I didn't mind.

As a New Yorker for most of my life, I didn't mind.

Nor do I, which is why we elected her.

I think it's pretty unfair to characterize the opposition to Hillary on the left as "hatred," since I believe it has its origin not in a dislike of her person or policies, but in a sincere belief that she's much too divisive a figure to win election as President -- and we're all pretty sick of losing at this point.  Now, your facts and figures present an alternative to that perception, but it's nonetheless true that there's abundant anecdotal evidence, available for any political observer to see, that a lot of people don't like her, or, in any event, wouldn't vote for her.  

I'm still inclined to think that's true enough to take her out of the running, but I don't say that out of hatred or dislike (and my head certainly isn't exploding) -- I think she's an extremely intelligent and able person who's doing a decent job of being my Senator -- I say it because I want to win the next one, and I don't think she can do it.

How many people in NY, esp. NYC, are even from (meaning born and bred in) NY?
