1960 LBJ carried Texas for Kennedy 1964 No 1968 Muskie carried then Republican Maine for Humphrey 1972 No 1976 Difficult to tell as the midwest was close that year although Minnesota was a closer Nixon victory 4 years earlier and more democratic then the national average. 1980: I think the last time a VP delivered a state was 1980. Given this year was a national landslide and that Minnesota actually voted for Nixon in 1972 I think Mondale helped Carter carry it. Mondale eeked out a victory 4 years later when he ran in 1984 otherwise I think Reagan would have carried Minnesota both times. 1984: No but Ferraro made NYC more democratic for Mondale then it had been for Carter in 1980 1988: No but Bentsen may have made Texas a few points closer given that Dukakis was a Northern liberal. 1992: Difficult to tell with Perot but I would say no. Perot may have prevented Bush from taking Tennessee as Bush carried neighboring states with the exception of Kentucky which was razor close. 1996: Same although Clinton was crusing to a larger reelection then 1992. 2000: No Connecticut would have gone Democrat regardless 2004: No 2008: No 2012: No
