I say that Romney's real home state is New Hampshire and we'll see if he's going to lose it.

Fine, if his 'real' home state is somewhere different, then Massachusetts is the state where he served as governor under (symbolically) false pretenses. Whether that makes it better or worse I'm honestly not sure.

Actually, in 1968 NY was Nixon's home state, which he lost.  Agnew's was MD, which he lost.

Nixon was Senator from CA (and a Representative) and had run for governor of CA their a scant 6 years before.

Well Nixon also had a residence in New York in 1968, so he also counts as losing his "home state" then.

BRTD, that is actually what I was saying.
