Carpetbagger

From Conservapedia

The term carpetbagger was used in the post-American Civil War period to refer to northerners who migrated to the former Confederate states in the south during Reconstruction looking for political and financial gain. The term originated because they would use carpetbags as an inexpensive form of luggage. The term is still used today to refer to someone who is seeking political stature in a region they are not associated with. Hillary Clinton was often accused of this when she began to campaign for her senate seat in New York, a state in which she had never lived.[1]
