Considering the 17 presidential elections after the WWII, we can rank the regions according to the number of elected presidents, presidential candidates, and presidential and VP candidates
Presidential elections winners
South 7
Northeast 5
Midwest 3
West 2
Presidential candidates of the two major parties
South 10
Midwest 10
Northeast 9
West 5
Presidential and VP candidates of the two major parties
South 20
Northeast 20
Midwest 17
West 11
* Maryland and Delaware were considered Northeast, not South
** Nixon's home state was California in 1952, 1956, 1960 and New York in 1968, 1972
I observed:
Few candidates from the West
Many losing candidates from the Midwest
