1. McGovern?

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

10. I think so...

Sargent Shriver was born in Maryland, and I believe the only state McGovern won that year was Massachusetts. So I think that would be it.

13. He also won DC

McGovern also won District of Columbia. ( I guess you could call it a state? )

2. I thought Al Smith and Joseph Robinson had, but was wrong.

Robinson was from Arkansas and they carried that state.

Of course, doesn't Mitt have like three, four, or five home states?

[RomneyLies]

3. John W. Davis and Charles W. Bryan, Democrats, 1924

They lost both West Virginia and Nebraska.

[RomneyLies]

4. James W. Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democrats. 1920

Lost both Ohio and New York

[VirginiaTarheel]

5. So, the common fact is that they were all losing tickets.

[RomneyLies]

7. I've been unable to find any winning ticket that lost both home states. n/t

[RomneyLies]

6. William Howard Taft and James S. Sherman, Republicans, Lost both Ohio and New York

Sherman died before the election and was replaced by Nicholas Murray Butler, also of New York.

[VirginiaTarheel]

8. The Taft-Sherman ticket won only 8 electoral votes, finishing third behind the Democrats and the Pro

Of course, Woodrow Wilson won the 1912 election.

[RomneyLies]

9. Going back in history...

I cannot find a single presidential candidate who lost their state of residence and still won the election.

12. Let alone both Pres and VP candidate

[RomneyLies]

14. Correct, but I also cannot find one where the presidential candidate lost all 3 home states

11. Not that I know of. I'm not up on that. But it will happen this time.
