2008-Indiana and North Carolina. Virginia was expected but still an achievement for the dems.
1996 Arizona to Clinton
1988 Dukakis margin in Iowa being stronger then Clinton's in the 90s.
1984 Massachusetts for Reagan
1980 Massachusetts for Reagan-Anderson taking a large chuck of the vote and splitting it.
1976 Ohio for Carter and the razor thin margin. (Carter beating Ford.) Ford almost winning Mississippi despite Carter trouncing him in the deep south.
1972 McGovern losing South Dakota his home state and the margin of his loss. Yet wins Ma.
1964 The massive I mean massive Goldwater margin out of Mississippi. Its understandable he would win but 87% of the vote, that has to be a record.
1960 Nixon losing Nevada and New Mexico despite being the western candidate. Barely winning his home state as well. LOL.
1956 Stevenson winning Missouri?? WTF
1948 Trumans razor thin win here in California despite winning the west strongly. Dewey winning Oregon
1936 Landon losing his home state and the margin

Ah ok then so 1948 makes even less sense to me now. Shouldn't Dewey have won California with Earl Warren? After all in those days it was more of a competitive state and not as democratic as it is today.
