gotta love republicans

I suppose this is the political version of keeping your bases covered:
Allan Levene isn¹t absolutely convinced of his chances*in the GOP race
for the congressional seat*now held by U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey of
Marietta.
So the Kennesaw resident has hit on what he thinks is a unique strategy
to increase the odds that he¹ll have a job in Washington come next year.
He¹s going to run in three other congressional districts as well. In
three other states: Michigan (14th*CD), Minnesota (6th*CD) and Hawaii
(1st*CD). The U.S. Constitution, he notes, only requires residency at
the time of next year¹s November election.
Levene used to live in metro Detroit. Work as an IT man has sometimes
carried him to Minnesota.
³Of course, living in Hawaii wouldn¹t be bad, but I¹d rather stay in
Georgia,² Levine, 64, said this morning. ³But I¹m a practical man. I
don¹t have time to do this two years at a time, since I plan to be dead
in 10 years.²
A London native but naturalized U.S. citizen, Levene has chosen an
American football analogy: ³Going wide rather than going long.²
Levene would remain an extreme long-shot in all four races * his Georgia
campaign treasury is relatively miniscule, and would be even smaller
when divided by four. But a quadruple race would be one for the books.
Levene said*he found his loophole during his constitutional studies.*The
Founding Fathers, he realized, didn¹t know about jet travel. ³People
couldn¹t conceive of people running in more than one geographic area,²
he said.
There is apparently no legal barrier to doing this, and there¹s
generally no legal requirement that a candidate for Congress actually
live in the District they are running for, so Levene isn¹t doing
anything improper here. I can¹t imagine, though, that the voters in
Geogia, Michigan, Minnesota, or Hawaii are going to appreciate this one.

What happens if he were to win in two or more states?

Minnesota's Sixth district is currently represented by crazypants
Michele Bachmann, who also does not live in the district, and who is
also a holder of dual citizenship. So as long as this guy promises to
faithfully work against his constituent's interests, just as Michele
does, he should have no trouble getting their votes.

Yes, she's a US Citizen and a citizen of the Bizarro World.
