Earth to Harry,

You said:
Bush senior didn't represent Maine just prior to his being elected in 88.

I said:
Gore hasn't represented Tennessee for eight years now.

Then you responded with:
What kind of excuse is that. States almost always vote for their favorite sons.

I was merely pointing out that Bush Sr. lost home state as well.

Re: "What kind of excuse is that. States almost always vote for their favorite sons. Even Walter Mondale carried his home state"

In '64, about the only state Goldwater carried was Arizona. I agree that losing Tenn & Arkansas shows what the home folks think of their own.

Well, it isn't so rare for a candidate not to carry his home state. McGovern, for example, didn't carry his (South Dakota?).

The winner, though, almost always carries his home state. The last not to do that is James K. Polk, I think. If Gore wins, that would indeed be unusual.
