(15,808 posts)President Biden hadnt lived in Pennsylvania in over 70 years but yet they still said he was a Pennsylvanian. There are tons to use against Dr. Oz. This one is not one of them.

(21,849 posts)Oz is running to represent a state. How can you represent a state and claim you know its needs, etc. when you havent lived there in almost 40 years?

(3,862 posts)It's a non-issue IMO. More than enough legit criticisms of the good Dr. to go around.
Budi
(15,325 posts)Since there is no legal requirement. But then the same standard applies to Oz.

(42,334 posts)Unlike Oz, who not only does not live in PA, but he also admittedly committed voter fraud by VBMing in PA using his in-laws address.

(15,325 posts)Pretty shitty example, comparing the former 1st Lady, Senator & Sec of State to a TV talk show host.

(42,704 posts)She had started publicly discussing a run for the NY senate seat as early as February 1999 and formed an exploratory committee and embarked on a listening tour of New York in July 1999. She and Bill bought a house in New York two months later in September 1999 that they moved into in January 3 months after she had filed her statement of candidacy with the FEC.
Similarly Bobby Kennedy first leased a residence in New York the same week he formally announced his candidacy and didnt buy a place in the state until seven months after he was elected.
I point this out not as a criticism of Hillary or Bobby there was nothing wrong with what they did. But the facts surrounding their candidacies suggest Ozs lack of connections to Pennsylvania isnt likely to be a significant issue in the campaign.

(15,325 posts)Wonder who's address she used in OH
Oh welp. Guess its not uncommon.

This is fucking Democratic Underground. If you want to provide cover for Republicans by using false whataboutisms to shit on our Democrats, get the fuck outta here.

(7,867 posts)Biden wasn't running to represent Pennsylvania specifically and the Clintons had purchased a home in New York in the late 90s and have lived in the state ever since.
Stop lying and distorting actual FACTS to shit on some of our best Democrats just to provide cover for a fucking Republican snake oil salesman. This is DEMOCRATIC Underground.

(42,704 posts)In both instances, they effectively started running for Senate before living in New York.
And the voters didn't care, which is the point.

(3,862 posts)Hillary had every right to run in NY and the people didn't care and voted for her. It was a non-issue. Just like Oz in PA.
If you want to move into a state and run for office and the voters support you, great. It's entirely up to the people of PA just like Hillary was entirely up to the people of NY.

(7,867 posts)...because I'd fucking love to watch a born and bred Pennsylvanian in John Fetterman call his ass out for being a wacko TV doctor from New Jersey that wants to come in and dictate to the citizens of Pennsylvania how many of their children dying is an acceptable level.
And it is certainly within Fetterman's right (or whichever Democratic wins the nomination) to point that out, but I'm sure the Republicans thank you for blunting fair criticism against them that they most CERTAINLY would against us if the shoe was on the other foot and a New York celebrity type was just dropping in the state to try and buy up a nomination.
Once again, this is not Republican Underground nor is it Independent Underground or Third Way Underground. It is DEMOCRATIC Underground -- support Democrats and stop enabling Republicans with silly ass false comparisons like these.

Apparently he resided in Pennsylvania while attending University of Pennsylvania for MBA and Med School. Recently for his Senate campaign he has taken residence in the Bryn Athyn, PA home owned by his in-laws.
