Obama was from the Illinois State Senate untimely ripp'd
I don't remember which writer recently made this point, but I'll elaborate on the beautiful irony that Hillary wouldn't be having her current troubles if her ambition hadn't impelled her to throw a few things in her carpetbag while still living in the White House. Her material connection to New York was never anything more elevated than the target lock achieved between her ambitions (presidential) and the Senate seat Moynihan was vacating.
If she'd been willing to wait a while and run from her actual home state, the seat Obama now holds would have been hers for the taking. And right now she'd be the one who wasn't around to cast an Iraq vote, and in every sense the Clintons cared about, there would be no Barack Obama.
