But if Cheney can say he's from Wyoming when he really lives in Texas to get around the rule that they can't be from the same state, then I suppose Bush can say he's from anywhere he wants to be from. I think it's a bit silly to have a rule that you can't enforce, but I don't make the rules.

I suspect that part of tussery's point was that if you want to call Tennessee Gore's "home state" and then make fun of him for losing it, you should acknowledge that the Bush family's roots are in New England.
Very true. But how many people will say it this way. In order to keep it simple, Texas would be referred to as Bush's home state.
