No President has ever been elected from the Mountain Time Zone. No Republican has ever been elected after failing to carry Colorado in the primaries (McCain lost it to Mitt Romney). No Republican has ever been elected after failing to carry Georgia in the priamries (McCain lost it to Mike Huckabee). No candidate from either party has ever been elected while receiving less than 19 percent of the vote in the Iowa caucus (McCain received 13 percent), except when a native son was running (Tom Harkin in 1992). No candidate has ever been elected from the incumbent party when the sitting president had a Gallup approval rating below 40 percent.No candidate as old as John McCain has ever been elected to a first term. fivethirtyeight.com
