Another Republican Running for Senator in a State Where They Don’t Live
Is there not enough homegrown talent?
What the hell is going on with the Republican Party? I seem to ask that a lot, don’t I? This time I’m asking because yet another Republican wants to run for the U.S. Senate to represent a state in which they don’t reside.

Or maybe I’m asking the question wrong. Maybe there are so many qualified Republican candidates that some are “forced” to run in states where they don’t actually live. Or maybe the RNC is just spreading talent around.
So, yesterday I was ranting about Alabama senator, Tommy Tuberville, who doesn’t actually live in Alabama, messing with military preparedness because he doesn’t believe in abortion. I know that doesn’t make any sense. Click on the link for a full explanation of why this makes sense to Tuberville.
