It would be interesting if you considered each time a president was re-elected that he was a "new" president; that is, ticking the score for his home state up by one.

What would the numbers look like then?  I know New York would get 3 more for Roosevelt...

Atlas maps on this site have him from New Jersey.  It's true that he was born and raised in Virginia, but he served as governer of New Jersey before he ran for president.
