What is the lesson I learned from her victory at the polls in Arizona? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katie_Hobbs
You're more apt to win a gubernatorial election if you live in the state as a native. Even if you are medically incompetent eg., Fetterman
Party affiliation becomes less important than loyalty to the state. Hillary Clinton is the exception.
I read all the novels of Thomas Hardy when I was 15, including The Return of the Native.
Being a native of the state means something. The sign of our time, "party politics", not good enough to secure a win eg., Kari Lake. http://erienewsnow.com/story/48563439/while-getting-treatment-for-depression-fetterman-continues-senate-operations
