This is due to the realignment of districts every 10 years."<BR/><BR/>Absolutely untrue. You don't have to live in the congressional district at all. At any point. At any time. You need only meet the age requirement (25), be a citizen of the U.S. for 7 years, and reside in the *state.* (See Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution.) This has nothing to do with redistricting.<BR/><BR/>ARAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-29377713353336668112007-12-18T20:49:00.000-05:002007-12-18T20:49:00.000-05:00you don't have to live in the district to run - if you win, all you have to do is move into the district before taking office.

I think the GOP would have a better chance of picking up this seat in the special election than it would in the general election. If a Jon Elrod could win the special election, I'm betting he would be able to establish himself well enough to hold it in the general.Gary R.

With him getting very little support last time around and seeing no help from national sources this time he saw the handwriting on the wall.<BR/><BR/>My guess is we will see a rich republican insider get the nod who can bring his own or be able to quickly tap into other sources during the 60 dy election cycle.
