That to me is a big unknown when I compare it to his ever-shifting position statements. I'm not afraid to say I don't like his politics - I just didn't feel like I had a handle on what his politics were.
As far as the home state thing goes, if the people that elected someone to represent them in the Senate later decided to elect someone else to represent them as president, then I think that is tantamount to a vote of no confidence from the folks that know him the best. Even the conservative Reagan carried California (twice).
