Because he won't be able to run for reelection to the Senate two years into his presidency!

Lame, I know, but I thought it would be a fun parody of all the outrage threads today.

4. The irony?
A lot of people wanted Hillary to wait until 2004 and run from Illinois, since it's really her home state. If she had done that instead of taking the RFK route of moving to New York, no one would be talking about Barack Obama now.

7. LOL, you beat me to it
I was just pointing that out. Except I forgot she grew up in Illinois...that explains why some people advised her to run there instead of NY. The story makes more sense now.

6. The irony there
is that at one point, when Hillary was eyeing the New York senate seat, some people advised her to wait for 2004 and run for the Senate in Illinois, where Peter Fitzgerald was pretty unpopular, instead of running in NY in 2000. If she had followed their advice she'd probably be the nominee now and Obama might be running to replace her in the US Senate.
