Again, no obvious trend being set here....
And as for her qualifications, she has been the wife of a governor and a president (better credentials than Elizabeth Dole for one), she is/was an attorney, and is fairly well versed in politics and the law (whether or not you agree with her politics, or her interpretive skills). Again, no comparison between her and Depp, OR Sonny Bono.
And back to her not being from the state, I'm fairly certain that before she ran she had a team of experts, pollsters, and fellow elected officials bring her up to speed on NY politics and issues. She had to do this, otherwise she might not have won, particularly the typically conservative votes she pulled in the North Country.
I'm willing to bet that she knew just as much, perhaps even more, than that jackass from Long Island Rick Lazio. New York is a perty big state, and I'm willing to bet the needs of his constituency differed quite greatly from those in my home county of Orange, and even greater from those in places such as Plattsburgh, Saratoga, and Macena.
