Why did Bill and Hillary choose to live in the lily white enclave of Chappaqua?

42. Actually you did

Not to mention, this brings back all the comments - vintage 2003 - 2006, that anyone from the Northeast can't win the Presidency.

You absolutely missed my point - that Bernie was able to transform a city in many good ways as mayor. That alone would not be a complete case for President, but everyone runs on their accomplishments. Obviously, Bernie over the course of the campaign will argue both his vision and his House and Senate accomplishments - as well as his accomplishments in Burlington.

I am old enough to remember that both Carter and Clinton ran on what they did as governors. I doubt you asked then why he announced in Little Rock, the capitol of a state that was in the bottom 10 on nearly every metric that measures quality of life - including education and health. Yet, it would have been odd for him to announce anywhere else.

Tell me, in what type of place would you have argued that Sanders really chose an exceptional, meaningful spot? Or should he have just taken to twitter (2016) or put out an internet video (as Clinton did in 2008)? I was neither impressed or troubled by either of those HRC means of announcing. Looking back, I guess I can say that she found ways both times to 100% control the message and did not have any real people contact - unless you argue that she spoke to everybody directly via technology.
