He said he's not a carpetbagger because he was recruited just as the firefighters and first reponders were recruited to respond to 9-11.... And this cat has a PHD from Harvard... His argument is he is not a carpetbagger because a couple of people in Illinois asked him to run... Lots of New Yorkers "asked" RFK and HRC to run for the New York Senate seat and they were called carpetbaggers.* *at least RFK had a real attachment to New York as he went to prep school at Groton On The Hudson...

5. Don't forget HRC won a Primary
and lived there almost a year before the election.

6. I Don't Remember HRC Winning A Primary...
The field was pretty much cleared for her but as you said she bought a home there and established residence...

9. She may, or may not have been challenged.
I don't live in NY, but I've heard this reported by a couple of sources. She went through the process and was not brought in by the Party bosses.

10. The Field Was Cleared For Her....
It wasn't a boss thing... Dems thought she had the best chance of beating Guliani who later dropped out when he discovered he had prostate cancer....

7. Funny, he compared himself to a firefighter and a first responder
More like, "Hey, we need somebody to help shovel up the ashes after the fire's out, can you stop on by?"

11. No, but from the text provided above, it sounds like he's trying
to say "Hey, like the guys who came from all over the country to help squelch the fires of the WTC, I am coming from Maryland to help knock down a Democrat."
