Non-Coastal Tickets

[LastMcGovernite]

A thought came to me while I read Jon Lauck's recent history of the American Midwest, which I was reminded of by seeing all the clamor for a Brown/Duckworth ticket. How many major-party presidential tickets had neither the top nor bottom of the ticket come from a state bordering the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, or the Gulf of Mexico?

As far as I can tell, we have:

Clay/Sergeant (1832)
Polk/Dallas (1844)
Cass/Butler (1848)
Buchanan/Breckinridge (1856)
Lincoln/Johnson (1864)
Grant/Colfax (1868), if Grant counts as an Illinoian
Hancock/English (1880)
Bryan/Stevenson (1900)
Bryan/Kern (1908)
Davis/Bryan (1924)
LaFollette/Wheeler (1924)
Hoover/Curtis (1928/32...but only if we count Hoover as an Iowan rather than a Californian)
Landon/Knox (1936)...Knox is hard to pin down, but in '36, I'd count him as an Illinoian.
Truman/Barkley (1948)
Wallace/Taylor (1948)
Stevenson/Kefauver (1956)
McGovern/Eagleton (1972)
Ford/Dole (1976)
Anderson/Lucey (1980)
Clinton/Gore (1992/96)

But don't the Great Lakes states count as costal states, too?

I suppose I mean "coastal" in a cultural sense more than a strictly geographic sense. When someone talks about "coastal elites" they don't mean Michigan or Indiana.

They don't usually mean South Carolina or Mississippi either

Yeah, I'd only include the states that directly border the Atlantic or Pacific oceans. Or, an even stricter definition, Washington down to California, Florida, and Virginia up to Maine.

Do the Texans actually have a negative opinion of Houston? Do they perceive it as "coastal" in a cultural sense, too?
