Residency

Wally of Irreconcilable Musings has more interesting insights on the "RV vote" particularly the aspect of how residency is defined in South Dakota for election purposes.

Interestingly, Joseph Bottum of the Weekly Standard also briefly touched the issue of residency as it relates to Senator Daschle and his wife in a piece published this week. Excerpt from the Weekly Standard:

Still, the message has gotten out: Daschle is one person back home, and another person on the East Coast. In South Dakota, he proudly announces his support for the president; in Washington, he's the minority leader of the Senate who does his best to thwart the president. In South Dakota, he campaigns as a man of the people; in Washington, he and his lobbyist wife recently bought a $1.9 million house, for which they promptly claimed a "homestead" tax credit that requires declaring the house one's primary and legal residence--leaving curiously unresolved the question of how the couple remain registered voters in South Dakota.
