When was the last time a Presidential candidate won the White House but lost his home state? There seems to be a decent chance of it happening this year, with Rudy Giuliani (R-NY) looking strong in the polls but behind in New York, Mitt Romney (R-MA) almost certain to lost his home state, and John Edwards (D-NC) facing an uphill battle in North Carolina.
Al Gore lost Tennessee, but he didn't win the election; has a winning candidate ever lost his home state?
