^Don't worry, it's just stupid stereotypes, doesn't mean everyone believes this. Then that would mean, according to most people, Texas is just tumbleweeds and oil, California is beaches and babes, Florida is old people, and so on.

Well her political base (in the Senate) was in New York, but she still originated in Arkansas and many people remember the Clinton's from back when Bill was Governor of Arkansas.
Hillary was raised in Park Ridge, Illinois, a Chicago suburb. She didn't meet Bill until she went to college or shortly thereafter. Later, and after they were married, William J. Clinton brought his bride to Arkansas where she was the First Lady for 12 years, FLOTUS for 8 years, NY Senator and then the US Secretary of State un der the first black US President. .
For a po' boy form AR, Bill & his wife made their mother's very proud. I don't know of any other American woman who has accomplished as much in politics as Hillary ihas in 40 years. .
To all the people who mentioned Forrest Gump for Alabama, most of that movie was actually filmed in Savannah, Georgia. ....Also, sad, but not surprising that most people think of Atlanta when they think of Georgia. More surprising that people think more of Myrtle Beach than Charleston for South Carolina.
As for me, I'll do my best...
(Please do not take offense to my thoughts if they seem negative)
