I'm really interested in the strategy of selecting a VP candidate. So I did a little research here on this endlessly cool website and found some info I just thought I'd share with y'all.
Here is a list of the Democrat and Republican VP candidates since 1928, their home states and whether or not they won. The bottom line is this: the Democrat VP candidate wins their homestate 14 out of 19 times. The Republican VP candidate wins their homestate 11/19 times.
1928: Robinson-WON-Arkansas;Curtis-WON-Kansas
1932: Garner-WON-Texas; Curtis-LOST-Kansas
1936: Garner-WON-Texas; Knox-LOST-Illinois
1940: Wallace-LOST-Iowa; McNary LOST-Oregon
1944: Truman-WON-Missouri; Bricker-WON-Ohio
1948: Barkley-WON-Kentucky; Warren-LOST-California
1952: Sparkman-WON-Alabama; Nixon-WON-California
1956: Kefauver-LOST-Tennessee; Nixon-WON-California
1960: Johnson-WON-Texas; Lodge-LOST-Massachussets
1964: Humphrey-WON-Minnesota; Miller-LOST NewYork
1968: Muskie-WON-Maine; Agnew LOST Maryland
1972: Shriver-LOST-Maryland.; Agnew-WON-Maryland
1976: Mondale-WON-Minnesota; Dole-WON-Kansas
1980: Mondale-WON-Minnesota; Bush-WON-Texas
