They are from the same state...Illinois. It is against the law for the VP and Presidential candidate to be from the same state (remember Bush and Cheney?).

We can't be as lawless as the Republicans.

1. its not where you are from...its where you reside.

actually, the word is "inhabit". Both can't "inhabit" the same state. Live in. Not be from.

Anyway, Obama was born in Hawaii, so isn't he "from" Hawaii?

2. For this purpose, Hillary is "from" New York.
She hasn't lived in Illinois in years -- NY is her legal residence.

4. Unlike Cheney and Bush, the two candidates do not live in the same state.

9. Well, there's a brainless observation.
Senator Hillary Clinton represents New York, where she LIVES.

The reason for not being on a ticket with Obama is that he'd knife her in the back just for fun.

10. Forgot she lives in NY now.
Since she is so much a part of Illinois. She was born here and is constantly in the news. My mistake to think a Yalie would be a Liberal not qualified for President on the same ticket as Obama. Not brainless just forgetful...as an older senior.
